While presenting many interesting possibilities and opportunities, generative AI disrupts human-centric understanding of cultural and artistic creativity. This leads to the unprecedented rise of ‘creative precarity’. In this seminar, Dr Hye-Kyung Lee will elaborate the main constituents of creative precarity: increasing uncertainty in terms of cultural workers’ creative roles, rights and identity and audience’s perception of their creativity. Finally, she will discuss potential policy approaches, their challenges and dilemmas.
