E-AI 2025: Pushing the Boundaries of Creativity in the Age of AI
After its successful debut in June 2022, the E-AI event is returning to Montreal for its highly anticipated second edition. On February 26th and 27th, 2025, industry leaders, artists, and AI experts will gather at the Palais des Congrès to explore the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the creative, cultural, and entertainment industries. Under the theme "On a Human Scale," E-AI 2025 aims to demonstrate how technology can catalyze human creativity while preserving the authenticity and diversity of human expression.
E-AI is not just a conference; it's a call to action. It is a platform for those concerned about the future of creativity in an AI-driven world, offering an opportunity for artists, professionals, and enthusiasts alike to learn, share, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the field. The event will feature a mix of inspiring panels, interactive workshops, and immersive experiences that showcase how AI is transforming the creative process.
As AI technologies continue to evolve at a rapid pace, the 2025 edition of E-AI will focus on maintaining the human essence of creativity while embracing these technological advances. AI in the arts—whether it's generating images on a smartphone, writing sophisticated texts in seconds, or even producing entire films—is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s happening today. E-AI seeks to keep this momentum going by highlighting the need for a balance between human creativity and AI’s potential to enhance the artistic process.
Key Themes: “On a Human Scale”
E-AI 2025 revolves around four major pillars, each focused on vital aspects of AI’s intersection with the creative industries:
The Impact of AI on Artists: AI is changing the role of artists and creatives, giving rise to new professions while challenging traditional boundaries. E-AI will explore how artists can adapt to these changes and embrace AI as both a tool for creation and as a transformative element in their creative journey.
Creative Industries: The event will delve into how AI is reshaping the creative industries, from gaming and film to music and visual arts. Discussions will focus on AI’s potential to drive innovation while fostering a collaborative, ethical approach to technology.
Sector-Specific Issues: From education and democratization of tools to intellectual property and monetization, the event will address key issues such as the role of AI in copyright laws, the commercialization of AI-generated works, and the ethical considerations in using AI in creative processes.
Case Studies and Practical Applications: Through concrete examples, E-AI 2025 will highlight how AI is already being used in creative practices. Attendees will hear from industry experts about both the successes and challenges they’ve faced when integrating AI into their work.
Notable Speakers and Participants
Among the confirmed speakers for this edition are Sandra Rodriguez from MIT, David Usher from Reimagine AI, Dennis Kastrup, journalist and artist, Yves Jacquier from Ubisoft, and Anne Nguyen from the Innovation Council of Quebec. Their insights will help guide discussions about the evolving relationship between AI and creativity, offering a glimpse into the future of the arts in an AI-augmented world.
A Space for Exploration and Experimentation
E-AI 2025 is designed to be a hands-on experience. Over the two days, attendees can participate in 50+ sessions, workshops, and immersive experiences that offer a deep dive into the practical applications of AI in the arts. This is a unique opportunity to experiment with current AI tools, share ideas, and learn from others working on the cutting edge of creative technologies.
Mark Stephens, Vice President of Strategy, Innovation & Partnerships at Connexion TV and a board member of E-AI, highlights, “AI is a powerful technological force, and like previous technological advancements, it holds immense potential for the cultural and creative industries. It’s about exploring new frontiers of creativity.”
Alexandre Teodoresco, Vice President of Strategic Development and Innovation at Les 7 Doigts and co-chair of E-AI, adds, “In our conversations within the creative industries, we don’t focus on the dangers of AI. We focus on the opportunities. We’re fascinated by what AI can do and eager to embrace these tools in a responsible and innovative way.”
Conclusion
E-AI 2025 promises to be an unforgettable event, blending technology and humanity in a way that encourages thoughtful exploration of AI’s role in creative expression. It is an invitation to artists, innovators, and cultural entrepreneurs to reimagine the future of creativity in the age of AI—ensuring that, while technology continues to evolve, the human spirit of creation remains at the heart of it all.
