Trevor Davis (UCA), hosted by Inge Panneels (Edinburgh Napier University)

We all know that technologies such as generative AI, VR and blockchain are changing the Creative Industries at pace. But do we understand the social, environmental and economic implications? In this workshop, you'll hear about research from the Centre for Sustainable Design (CfSD) at the University for the Creative Arts that answers these questions, and experience a tool that can help the Creative Industries benchmark themselves and so improve their sustainability maturity. Participants will learn about the digital transformation of the Creative Industries and how the "world behind the screen" brings hidden environmental and social impact of technologies such as generative AI. In addition, you'll learn about how to benchmark sustainability maturity using a free tool from Centre for Sustainable Design (CfSD) at the University for the Creative Arts.
