About the event
CreativeMornings SF (CM) and AI Salon present an interactive gathering that brings together local creatives such as artists, designers, architects, musicians, filmmakers, writers, and more, with various perspectives, to explore how AI is redefining creativity, and the human experience at large. The goal of the event is to create an environment in which creatives can feel safe to be vulnerable about their hopes and fears, connect, and be inspired by one another. All guests leave with a broadened horizon and new thoughts about AI.
Our event will feature 3 discussion groups with around 10 participants each. Embarking on an hour-long discussion centered around a specific and unique topic. From fearful rejection to enthusiastic embrace of AI: everything is welcome.
The theme of this AI Salon is Creativity. Moderators will guide each group through the conversation.
Heads up, friend!
This one’s a little different than our usual Friday mornings events. It’s not a sit-back-and-watch kind of event—it’s a jump-in-and-share-your-brain kind of gathering. We’re getting together for an honest conversation where everyone’s opinion matters and wants to be heard.
Expect a room full of San Francisco creatives who are curious, thoughtful, inviting, and ready to explore AI from all sorts of angles. To make the conversation as rich as possible, we’re curating a mix of perspectives.
