Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) an opportunity or a threat to the arts industry?

CQUniversity and Bundaberg Regional Council invites you to a networking evening where we will be exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence in the arts. Hear from a panel of speakers on how they are using AI in their arts practice. Learn more about AI as a creative tool and what risks to be aware of.
