Digital Hollywood: The AI & Entertainment Summit
Experiments in AI Entertainment, Art & Virtual Humans
Nobody knows where the limits are. That is the most honest and most exciting thing that can be said about AI creativity in 2026 — and this session leans into that uncertainty with everything it has. The categories of creativity in the age of AI are still being discovered, still being named and still being imagined by the artists brave enough to work at the frontier. This closing session of the day brings together the most adventurous AI creatives for a live showcase of experiments in entertainment, art and virtual humans that will surprise, provoke and occasionally astonish. AI-crafted narratives that blur reality. Digital art that redefines aesthetics. Virtual humans so lifelike they steal the show. No corporate presentations. No safe choices. Just creativity unleashed.ing together the people living on both sides of that question right now.r.
