For everyone who joined us in New York, you know this was not exactly a one track, sit-in-your-seat-all-day kind of event. At any given moment, there were more than a dozen sessions, lounges, demos, workshops, conversations, and side quests unfolding across our AI & Creativity Summit. So in line with our event format, this special edition newsletter presents you the opportunity to once again choose your own adventure. For those who were there, catch what you missed. For those who weren’t, here are some of the highlights of the ideas, tools, and creative systems unveiled in the room.

What if a brand campaign could scale around a single artist’s visual identity, with the art licensed, tracked, and compensated? Vered Horesh of Bria joined Noel Bunting of Publicis London on the Main Stage to announce Artfair by Bria, a new platform for building AI-powered campaigns around world-class, artist-owned visual identities. The first campaign on the platform, by Publicis London for Cathay Pacific across multiple surfaces from murals to online activations, showcases the unmistakable creative identity of Oliver Barrett, an award-winning illustrator.
AWS brought together Christopher Sinnott, Jed Weintrob of 30 Ninjas, Bryan Yee of Innovative Dreams, and Jon Kreutzer of Zerospace for a practical Main Stage conversation on how AI is showing up inside real creative production workflows. The session moves past the demo-reel phase and into the harder questions of what saves time, what supports creative intent, and what actually works once AI enters the studio, pipeline, and production process.
Fashion has always been a system of taste, image, ownership, and control. AI is starting to rewrite all of it. In this session, Anthony Lupo of ArentFox Schiff joined Francis Pierrel of LR Paris for a high-level conversation on how AI is reshaping fashion, luxury, beauty, creativity, and IP.
Vibe Creation Showcase
What happens when app-building starts to feel more like sketching? Replit led a hands-on Vibe Creation Showcase in the Human Lounge, giving creators a closer look at how AI agents can help turn loose ideas into working tools, prototypes, and interactive experiences. The session brought Replit’s core premise into the room. Software is becoming something more people can make, test, and share without waiting for a full technical team.

Claire Silver is an anonymous AI-Collaborative artist that works with oil, acrylic, collage, photography, and different digital mediums to create her work. She often blends the classical style and mythos into her art, collaboratively producing work that feels at once familiar and strange. Her work explores themes of innocence, trauma, the hero’s journey, and how our view of them will change in an increasingly transhumanist future. Claire’s art can be found in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, has been at Sotheby’s London and Christie’s New York and in galleries, museums, and festivals all over the world. Featured in the New York Times, WIRED, Fortune, NPR, and countless podcasts, Claire takes every opportunity to explore her unending fascination with AI, fight for visibility for this budding art movement, and wonder at the magnitude of this moment in history. She often feels like a caveman painting fire. Claire is vocal in her belief that with the rise of AI, for the first time, the barrier of skill is swept away and that in this evolving era, taste is the new skill.
