From the printing press to the internet, transformative technologies were built by engineers but brought to life by artists. Today, AI is introducing a new canvas for creators.

On June 17th in New York City, Shared Futures: The AI Forum brought together cultural architects, artists, inventors and thinkers to explore how AI is reshaping the way we live, create, connect, and evolve. Through performances, conversations, and experiments, the forum offers a glimpse of how AI can deepen, and not diminish, what makes us who we are.

Co-hosted by Aspen Digital and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, this one-day forum goes into the heart of what it means to imagine in an age of intelligent machines.
