The second meeting in this series focused on the influence of generative AI on the cultural and creative sectors. On May 31, 2024, in Quebec City, the event welcomed Octavio Kulesz, an internationally recognized figure in this field, as guest of honor. Moderated by Brian Myles, director of Le Devoir newspaper, the panel brought together artists, video game industry professionals, representatives of cultural organizations and specialists from fields as diverse as law, cinema and communications.
