?#ZNLive with Vincent Buyssens

Last week’s #ZNLive guest was Vince Buyssens from Voidwalker and Starhaven . Vincent shared his insights on AI, culture, and human creativity. Key takeaways from the session included the importance of welcoming change in artistry, the democratisation of art facilitated by AI, and the need to strike a balance between AI's assistance and our creative choices.

For young communicators entering the technology industry, Vincent underscored the value of nurturing creative instincts, broadening creative references, and mastering the art of AI-aided storytelling.

Vincent also shared some of his go-to resources for intellectual stimulation: John Vervaeke ’s YouTube video essay, “The Coming Thresholds and the Path We Must Take ” for multifaceted insights on AI; Eugene Wei ’s Remains of the Day for in-depth reading; and the Lex Fridman Podcast for conversations with various guests about intelligence, consciousness, and much more.
