From Deepfakes to Digital Creativity: AI Speakers to Know

Artificial intelligence has moved quickly from experimentation to everyday reality, reshaping how we create, communicate, and consume information. As 2026 unfolds, debates around AI-generated creativity, deepfakes and digital trust have become central to the global news cycle, with organisations, businesses and governments all grappling with how to adopt the technology responsibly.

Platforms are already responding. YouTube, for example, has introduced new tools enabling journalists and public figures to request the removal of AI impersonation videos, highlighting growing concerns around synthetic media. At the same time, regulators across Europe and the US are tightening rules around AI-generated content, including proposals to curb non-consensual deepfakes and increase platform accountability. Meanwhile, the creative industries are confronting a fundamental question: how to preserve human originality when generative AI can produce convincing text, images, and video at scale. Writers and artists have even begun introducing labels to distinguish human-authored work, signalling a profound cultural shift.

Against this backdrop, these speakers explore the evolving relationship between AI, creativity, and the future of human imagination.
