What to look forward to
“Inference as Instrument” will explore how generative AI tools are reshaping creative practice across art, music, film, and design. Digital artist Iana Chugunova, Runway’s Ryan Phillips, and Modal’s Charles Frye will share perspectives in a panel and Q&A, followed by an open exhibit.
Inside the event
Inference as Instrument is a panel exploring how inference-powered tools are becoming instruments in their own right: reshaping how artists, musicians, filmmakers, and designers create. The panel brings together builders and practitioners at the intersection of generative AI and creative work to discuss what it means to build (and use) inference as a medium for expression.
