Creation and Curation: Luke Davis at TEDxTelfairStreet

We're entering an era where the "things" we produce aren't designed by creative humans, but by creative machines whose output is sorted by tasteful humans, the Curators. We're in the midst of a world of things designed by clever algorithms, being entertained by clever AI. This has big, scary, and important implications for culture and society, for governments and economies. Luke discusses the implications of an era when increasingly the "things" we produce aren't designed by creative humans, but by creative machines whose impossibly prolific output is sorted by tasteful humans: the Curators.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
