In a world where algorithms can sketch your face, compose symphonies, write love letters, and now even argue with you in a tone eerily close to your ex’s… AI isn’t sci-fi anymore. It’s here. It’s fast. And it’s busy flipping every creative table we thought was nailed to the floor.
Unfold Conversations is your quarterly reality check (with snacks!) and a rare offline moment, possibly the only time AI isn’t eavesdropping. It’s a physical event where we get to see each other’s faces (yes, real ones) and dive into the wild, ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and physical intelligence. Think of it as your creative GPS through this messy-but-magical tech jungle. It’s where artists, makers, dreamers digital tinkerers and curious minds come together to unpack the trends, challenge the status quo, and figure out how to ride the AI wave without losing our human touch.
From machine learning tools that zhuzh up your visual designs to neural networks writing your next banger or screenplay, creatives are no longer just competing with tech, they’re in full-blown collab mode. (We’re talking, fundi delivers your clothes only two days late instead of two weeks. Progress!) But to truly co-create with machines, you need to know your stuff: the tools, the terms, the tea.
That’s what Unfold Conversations delivers; bite-sized insights with big-picture energy. We unpack:
• Breakthroughs
What’s bubbling in the world’s AI labs and startups and how it ends up on your laptop, your playlist, or your canvas. No jargon. Just the juicy bits.
• Ethics
Who gets left behind? Who gets the credit? What does ‘creating responsibly’ even mean when your brush has a processor? And closer to home, how do we push for policies that actually favour Kenyan creatives? Because someone has to think about the fashion designer in Kariobangi or the animator in Kisumu fighting to protect their IP and not just Silicon Valley billionaires and government committees in suits.
• Creative Hacks
From using AI to storyboard your next indie film to making an AI-powered soundscape that slaps, we share the tools that boost your creativity instead of boxing it in. No gatekeeping!
So, whether you’re a filmmaker letting AI plot your third act, a beatmaker remixing with bots, a visual artist playing with pixels and prompts, or someone who needs to know when AI is coming for us, this is your official invite to ask weird questions, flip the script, and imagine new worlds, together (or maybe just come for the vibes and snacks). Come curious. Come skeptical. Come with half-baked ideas and wild what-ifs.
We’ll be sharing more details soon on when the first Unfold Conversations event drops. So sharpen your pencils (or charge your devices, whichever feels more 2025), and get ready to show up, speak up, and unfold what the future holds.
