AI Kills Creativity. True or false?

Every generation fears the machine. The camera would replace painters. Synthesizers would replace musicians. The internet would replace writers. Now it's artificial intelligence.

It writes. It designs. It composes. It codes. It creates in seconds what once took days. So, what exactly are we losing? Is AI expanding the creative toolbox—or replacing the thinking that makes creativity valuable? Does easier creation produce better ideas, or simply more of them?

Join us for another edition of Debate Club, where speakers from across technology, the arts, business and academia argue both sides of one of the defining questions of our time.

A judging panel will crown a winner, but the final vote belongs to the audience.

18:00 – 18:30 Arrival, meet and greet
18:30 – 18:40 Opening
18:40 – 19:40 Structured debate
19:40 onwards the debate unofficially continues in the bar - book your table for dinner at Luis' here.
