SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY 2024: CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Zagreb, Croatia, ZICER – Zagreb Innovation Centre, 18 and 19 April 2024

We invite you to actively participate in the work of 29th International scientific conference “SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY 2024“with Your scientific and professional paper (report, study or debate). International scientific conference “DIT 2024” accepts and publishes scientific and professional papers and the results of interdisciplinary scientific research, whose area of interest are creative industries in all spheres of social development, science, education and technology.

Main Theme and Objectives:

The event’s main theme is Creative Industries and Articifial Intelligence. Creative industries are a source of income, but they are also important for fostering cultural diversity and education. They are closely related to the knowledge economy, new technologies and the promotion of the concept of sustainable development. Recently, among the new technologies, a strong development in the field of artificial intelligence research stands out. Artificial intelligence can quickly abstract large amounts of data and even generate new ideas, but it still has no ability to imitate real human creativity and produce truly original ideas. It is undeniable that in the coming years, artificial intelligence will affect work patterns in almost all areas. Undoubtedly, artificial intelligence also brings great changes in the sectors of the creative industry. Today we can already think about architects, designers, musicians, painters of the future who will emphasize their creativity to a lesser extent through long-term physical work, and to a greater extent through the skill and idea of connecting large quantities of data and products that will be abstracted by artificial intelligence programs. Accordingly, the goal of the conference is to analyze, discuss and present the current development of the creative industry sector, primarily in the context of the development of artificial intelligence with all the accompanying positive and negative opportunities that it brings.
