As generative AI continues to reshape how information is created, shared, and applied, educators across pK–12, higher education, and the workplace are asking an important question: what remains uniquely human in education? This event will explore how artificial intelligence is changing—not replacing—the role of educators, learning leaders, and institutions.

With Dr. Vanessa Druskat

Join us virtually with Koen Pauwels for the 62nd annual Robert D. Klein Lecture.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping creative industries, including animation, game development, music, design, and storytelling, by changing how ideas are imagined, developed, and shared. This webinar explores AI not as a replacement for human creativity but as a collaborator that transforms artistic workflows, redefines authorship, and challenges our understanding of originality and craft. Moving between theory and practice, we will examine how AI tools are being used across creative disciplines, from motion generation and generative design to sound and visual composition, while considering the ethical, cultural, and educational implications of this rapidly evolving landscape.
