The professional day combines keynotes, panels and live demonstrations that explore how AI is transforming the creative sector today, with a particular focus on musical creation. The programme moves from a keynote on AI and creativity to practical and international perspectives on computational creativity tools, with contributions from Sony CSL, Lavinia Labs, Intermorphic, Goldsmiths College, UPC and others. It continues with Núria Andorrà’s presentation of the HARMON.IA project, and concludes with a discussion on best practices and ethical approaches to AI-assisted artistic creation.
Designed as a half-day, practice-oriented event, the workshop emphasises concrete co-creation experiences with AI, enabling participants to take away practical guidelines and recommendations for working with artificial intelligence while maintaining human leadership and artistic agency.
