Tech Meets Tradition: AI and the Art of Jewellery
The Jewellery Collective
A brave new world? This thought-provoking event explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) on the art of jewellery manufacture, design and retail, investigating the possibilities available to each of us as members of the jewellery industry. Hear from the original pioneer of Augmented Reality try-on services in the jewellery industry, a tech-driven jewellery designer, a specialist in creative AI and a developer of software used by small jewellery brands about how they’re incorporating AI into their day-to-day practices and their visions of AI’s role in our industry moving forwards. To explore both sides of the argument, we'll also put questions to our panel about the importance of maintaining cultural heritage by championing traditional tools and techniques. Seek your answer to the question: Are we losing touch with the romance of jewellery, or is it time to stop fearing the new? What's more, this inspiring knowledge-sharing event will involve a mixer session; an opportunity for you to forge meaningful new connections with other jewellery professionals and enthusiasts in Edinburgh.
