Top Creators Reveal the Realities of the Frontline: Cross-Talk Event 'Creative Futures Transformed by AI'

Digital Hollywood (operated by Digital Hollywood Inc., headquarters/school: Chiyoda City, Tokyo; President & CEO: Masanori Fujii), an IT and digital content education school promoting new learning styles and supporting diverse lifestyles nationwide, will host the event 'Creative Futures Transformed by AI – Input the Cutting Edge of the Frontline!' on Sunday, June 28, 2026. The main venue is Digital Hollywood Tokyo Campus (Ochanomizu), with online participation also available.

Recent rapid advancements in generative AI have often spotlighted negative aspects such as 'AI taking jobs.' However, in creative fields, a more nuanced reality is emerging—one that goes beyond mere replacement or efficiency. Through dialogue with AI, creators are expanding ideas, shifting perspectives, and enhancing both the quantity and quality of trial and error. This interaction offers a new catalyst for a 'Creative Jump'—a leap in human imagination.

*Creative Jump refers to the ability to discover unknown combinations.
