Artificial intelligence is reshaping every aspect of our lives, and its impact on traditional creative processes is undeniable. As we navigate this shift, it is essential to propose new models for rethinking education, as well as the policies and regulations governing AI. The era we live in presents both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges.
The program of this festival—proposed by the Goethe-Institut in collaboration with Fundación Medifé, Artlab Pro, and the Delegation of the European Union—is designed to explore the dynamic synergy between these critical fields and to begin building a toolkit and knowledge base for participants to navigate this ever-evolving landscape.
The goal is to deepen understanding of how to harness Artificial Intelligence in creative processes, explore transformations in the field of translation, reimagine pedagogical methodologies and experiences, and propose innovative solutions. These topics will be addressed in various panels and workshops, alongside reflections on the challenges posed by contemporary life. There will also be art exhibitions and live performances.
