Based on Maram Hani’s passion for both creativity and progress, she will explore the mechanics of AIgenerated art and its oftenoverlooked effects in the creative community. Maram Hani is a Grade 11 Walter Murray Collegiate student, who dabbles in various experimental school clubs and extracurriculars in her spare time. She is honoured to have gotten a speaking role for the TedxYouth@WalterMurrayColligiate event. Based on her passion for both creativity and progress, she will be exploring the mechanics of AIgenerated art and its oftenoverlooked effects on the creative community. With technology advanced enough to generate images with a push of a button, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype, unaware of the possible legal concerns that can arise from it. In our world of exponential progress comes the risk of unregulated tools hitting the shelves before new laws can be established for them. She believes AI art holds amazing potential for streamlined creative work and realising otherwise ambitious endeavours, but without acknowledging the artists behind its database, it might not be as progressive as we've imagined. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
