Authorship, Interrupted:
What AI Changes in Creative Work
Date: 10 Jan, 2026 | Time: 15:00 | Godrej Dance Theatre
A cross-disciplinary conversation with Pankhuri Upadhyay, Kaiwan Mehta, Khushboo Ranka, Ayaz Basrai and Sameer Kulavoor examining how authorship is understood, negotiated and contested across disciplines in the present moment. Rather than centering AI as a discrete subject, the discussion foregrounds creative practice, treating AI as one among many ambient conditions alongside markets, platforms, institutions, politics and discipline-specific environments, that shape the thinking of a cultural generation. The speakers offer guiding principles for thinking about regulation alongside technological development, particularly with the interests of independent creative professionals at the centre.
