Keynote Lecture on Day 4: “The Modern Muse” — A Tech-Infused Tale

In the ever-evolving landscape of creativity and innovation, the concept of the "Muse" has undergone a dramatic transformation. No longer confined to the classical figures of mythology or the human inspirations behind art, today’s Muse is deeply entwined with technology. Storytelling has merged human and machine imagination, to a point where the boundaries between the creator and the inspiration have blurred. It poses both exciting possibilities and profound questions about the nature of originality, creativity, and the future of art. The keynote looks at the history of the Muse and its evolution from mythology to machine including examples of tech-driven creativity and the ethics and philosophical implications of human-AI collaboration in storytelling. Leave with a new perspective on how technology can amplify human creativity—a partnership where the Muse is not a distant ideal but a tool at our fingertips, reshaping the future of storytelling.
