GLUON I Symposium: AI, Humanity & Arts Symposium (EN)
Symposium organised by GLUON.
In 2023, generative models such as ChatGPT and DALL-E brought about a true revolution in image generation. Only a year later they were already outmatched by Sora and Runway (video) and Udio (music).

These groundbreaking tools proved capable of creating coherent texts, generating visual images and even video and music based on purely textual cues. This leads to new and interesting questions. One of these is whether the new Einstein, Picasso, or Bach will be a computer. In other words, can a computer become creative and experience a moment of inspiration? Or will it be ‘intelligent’ enough to become a proper discussion partner and present us with other dimensions of intelligence? There are already many examples of artists who gratefully use AI tools and some of the results are stunning..
During this symposium we delve deeper into the complex relationship between the brain, creativity and language. Together with neuroscientists, artists and philosophers, we analyze the concept of creativity and investigate the concepts of between natural and artificial intelligence and other ‘intelligence’.
This event is being held as part of the FARI Brussels Conference 2024, under the theme 'AI, a Public Good?' – FARI Partners Day: Collaborating for Greater Impact.
This event is organised and hosted by GLUON in partnership with FARI and Proximus. With the support of the STARTS program of the European Union, Innoviris, the National Lottery, Flanders State of the Arts and WIELS.
