Knowledge is Power – Art and AI at the Academy

At Academy of Art University, we believe that the key to harnessing the power of generative AI lies in understanding both its possibilities and ethical uses. Without the input and guidance of a trained artist, AI-generated content is second-rate. When paired with an artist’s guiding vision, however, AI offers unprecedented opportunities for creative exploration, rapid prototyping, and 21st-century employment. Academy President Dr. Elisa Stephens explains the Academy’s innovative approach to teaching AI in this enlightening video.
