Tech Killed Art: The Value of Human Expression in a Machine-Made World

Join Glenn Pickering for a thought-provoking exploration of how the value of human-made creative work has shifted throughout history.

This talk examines the evolving role of human expression, offering insights into where art, design and originality might head in an age increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
