Thank you to everyone who attended!

We had the pleasure of hosting an incredible event with the Marshall Entertainment Association! During this, we gained valuable insight from Ian Sansavera (RunwayML), AJ Sciutto (Magnopus), and Chad Nelson (OpenAI) on the intersection of AI, entertainment, and creativity! Please stay tuned for more upcoming events like this.

Upcoming Events

Art.Ificial is excited to announce that we are collaborating with a team from Google to bring several amazing events to you all! Please see more info below on the first event happening 4/10:

A team from Google is looking for 10 students to have a conversation on generative artificial intelligence(GenAI) in a 2-hour session on campus on Wednesday, 4/10.

Sign up through this form by the end of Wednesday, 4/3. They will reach out and confirm your participation if you’ve been selected.
