Venice festival launches creativity forum with AI as headline question

Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera will host "The Future of… Creativity" on 4 September at the Scuola Vecchia della Misericordia, an invitation-only forum presented by Finch & Partners and CAA. Barbera said in a statement that AI may prove the greatest change yet in storytelling, with an impact potentially greater than the 19th-century Industrial Revolution. The event builds on a Cannes edition held in May.
