"Artificial Intelligence or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" by Brad Barton

Artificial Intelligence is now part of our lives, and its role continues to grow. AI has entered the world of photography, producing images that amaze some while prompting others to rethink AI's place in the art form.

Our speaker, Brad Barton, believes Artificial Intelligence Image Generation is both wonderful and scary. In this presentation, he will talk about how we got here and how to stay relevant in a fast-growing technological world.

Brad Barton is an artist, author, and Creative Mythologist who helps creatives break free from burnout, perfectionism, and inherited myths about success. Through story-driven talks rooted in visual art and real-world creative experience, Brad invites audiences to rethink what it means to create -- and why it matters.

His work has been featured in national publications and feature-length films, and he speaks regularly to artists and creatives seeking deeper, more meaningful creative lives. When not making art of mischief, he teaches others how to unlock their imagination -- a vital survival skill for life, art, and the inevitable rise of our robot overlords.
