Join NCACE for an in-person interactive workshop exploring how Artificial Intelligence can support innovation, research translation and knowledge exchange across arts, culture and higher education.

As AI continues to reshape the ways organisations communicate, create, collaborate and engage audiences, this workshop will provide space to critically and creatively explore what these changes mean in practice across arts, culture and knowledge exchange.

Combining practical exploration with collaborative discussion, the workshop will create opportunities to engage with the possibilities, limitations and ethical questions surrounding AI in arts, culture and knowledge exchange contexts.

Designed for professionals across higher education, arts and cultural organisations, creative practice, freelance and independent roles, public engagement and knowledge exchange, the workshop will offer a practical, accessible introduction to using AI responsibly and purposefully to support partnership development, stakeholder communication, fundraising, programme design, audience engagement and research translation.

Through the session, participants will

• demystify AI and develop a shared understanding and language around how these systems work
• build confidence in using AI tools and approaches within professional contexts
• identify practical ways to strengthen innovation capacity within their own roles, organisations and networks
• explore the ethical dimensions of AI and what responsible use looks like across different professional and organisational contexts

Facilitated by Rupert Lorraine from the University of Plymouth and Approachable AI, the day will combine interactive presentations, live demonstrations and structured group work, with opportunities to apply AI approaches to real challenges facing participants’ organisations and partnerships. There will also be opportunities throughout the day for networking, discussion and exchange with other participants working in similar contexts.

Whether you are beginning to explore AI for the first time or looking to develop more confident and informed approaches within your organisation, the workshop is designed to support learning at a range of levels. No prior AI experience is required, and materials and resources will be shared after the session to support continued learning and organisational development.

**We have bursary funding available to support participation, with requests considered on a case-by-case basis within a set budget. To request bursary information and an application form, please contact Noshin Sultan at**** ****noshin.sultan@sas.ac.uk.**
