About Session
Artist Kailum Graves will discuss his approach to incorporating AI in creative expression, exploring its potential to inform artistic expression while addressing questions of authorship, authenticity, and ethical implications. From generative AI to collaborative endeavours, the conversation will highlight opportunities for innovation while considering the ethical, societal, and existential implications, particularly focusing on the homogenising impact on creativity. Kailum advocates for a balanced approach that embraces AI’s transformative potential while critically examining its societal and ethical dimensions.
1 hour + question time.
The session will be recorded and made publicly available.

About NAVA Talks AI
NAVA Talks AI is a collaborative series of good practice conversations on the use and impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work and practice in visual arts, craft and design. While AI presents a world of creative and supportive potential for artists and arts workers, it also poses significant challenges regarding copyright, consent, creative/cultural autonomy, Indigenous sovereignty and labour. Artists, arts workers and organisations must be central to these conversations to navigate the evolving landscape.
In May, we welcome you to join three online sessions where industry experts will tackle legal and ethical tensions at the intersection of AI and arts practice. Explore the potential and risks of generative AI in areas like Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), copyright and Intellectual property (IP), and artists’ work and livelihoods. These sessions will offer a space for discussing good practice approaches to protect artists’ rights and ensure adequate compensation.
NAVA Talks AI will also assist in informing NAVA’s ongoing advocacy work in the AI space.
Participation is free. Register for each session to join the conversation.
