AI Kills Creativity. True or false?
Every generation fears the machine. The camera would replace painters. Synthesizers would replace musicians. The internet would replace writers. Now it's artificial intelligence.
It writes. It designs. It composes. It codes. It creates in seconds what once took days. So, what exactly are we losing? Is AI expanding the creative toolbox—or replacing the thinking that makes creativity valuable? Does easier creation produce better ideas, or simply more of them?
Join us for another edition of Debate Club, where speakers from across technology, the arts, business and academia argue both sides of one of the defining questions of our time.
A judging panel will crown a winner, but the final vote belongs to the audience.

About the event
Debate Club brings together curious people willing to challenge ideas—their own included. Each edition tackles a timely motion with speakers from different disciplines, leaving the audience to decide who made the stronger case.
Presented in partnership with Debate Club, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to creating thoughtful, social spaces where ideas are tested, perspectives are broadened, and conversation continues long after the debate ends. Your MC for the evening is strategic leadership adviser, Kate Harris.
