OPEN DISCUSSION: "The algorithm made me do it"

As generative AI evolves from tool to creative partner, the question is what that means for human creativity.

In this closing conversation of Day 1, architect and digital creator Tina Marinaki (Athens Surreal) joins conference producer and host Eliza Soufli for a candid exploration of authorship in the age of AI.

Through the lens of visual storytelling, cultural representation, and prompt-driven creation, the discussion will unpack how ideas are translated into AI-generated worlds—and who is truly behind them. From the craft of prompting as a new creative language to the challenges of bias, authenticity, and cultural nuance, this session goes beyond the hype to examine the real creative shift underway.

Because when everyone has access to powerful generative tools, the real differentiator is not execution but perspective.
