Keynote & Invited Speakers

Keynote Speech

Speech Title: A Brief History of Storytelling: From Cave Paintings to AI


One of the differences between humans and other animals is that we humans create fictional stories and tell them in a way that persuades or motivates others. We call this storytelling. This keynote lecture begins with a look at the evolution of storytelling over time. The important point here is that storytelling is greatly influenced not only by the world view of the time, but also by the media that conveys the story. Here comes the big question: How will AI influence the media and our worldview?
