Luba Elliott is a renowned curator, researcher, and consultant at the forefront of the AI-art movement, curating exhibitions and events around the world that explore how AI is creating new pathways for Artists. She’s worked with institutions like the Serpentine Galleries, the V&A, and the ART-AI Festival, Ars Electronica and CogX, and she’s frequently called on to speak at global events like NeurIPS. Luba’s work bridges the gap between tech and art, helping artists and technologists rethink creativity and authorship in the digital age.

In our conversation, we’ll explore her perspective on AI’s evolving role in the art world. How does she see AI— as just a tool, or maybe as a true creative collaborator? We’ll talk about how artists are using AI in ways that would have been impossible just a few years ago and whether AI changes the emotional or personal connection in art. We discuss ethical challenges like copyright and data use, and we’ll look ahead to where she sees AI and artists heading in the next decade. 

Throughout the discussion we mention some artists by name along with various AI technologies. For those that are interested I’ve added links on the show notes.

Get ready for a fresh perspective on the exciting and sometimes challenging dynamics between AI and creativity!
