Join recording artist and AI ethicist Roshmund “Sum” Patten, copywriter and AI researcher Leslie Donnenwirth, and Yurina Yoshikawa, writer and Director of Education at The Porch, for an honest, engaging Zoom conversation on the intersection of artificial intelligence, ethics, and creative writing.

Sum Patten, a multidisciplinary creator, helps fellow artists sharpen their POV on where AI sits in our collective artistic evolution. His research group, CERITAS, is collaborating with AI2030 to shape ethical frameworks for AI the Arts. Leslie Donnenwirth supports Sum and CERITAS’ work as an AI researcher, while sharpening her POV on AI as a writer. The two will share insights from their experiences and research, providing a high-level overview of the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable truths of AI — and, most importantly, shed light on the people and organizations working toward a more conscientious future for AI integration into the Arts, leaving you with practical resources to explore further.

This event is perfect for writers who feel uncertain, uneasy, or even angry about AI’s rise in the creative world and are looking for clarity, solidarity, and actionable steps to navigate the changing tide. There will be time for open audience Q&A at the end.
