Eric Oh, Kim Dae-sik, and Warner Music’s Hannah Karp to Appear… “QE Conference” Questioning Creativity in the AI Era

The Intersection of AI and Culture—Presenting Global Standards in Seoul

The global AI culture platform QE (QuintEssence), based in the United States, will host 'QE Global Conference & Exhibition - Seoul Edition' at the Seoul Euljiro News Museum on the 30th. Going beyond a simple technical tool, this event puts 'Artificial Intelligence (AI)' at the center as a key force that fundamentally reshapes human 'creation' and the underlying structures of interpretation. It also raises a weighty question: how to set new cultural standards for the era ahead.

Insights from World-Class Authorities: The Evolution from Creation to Curation

At the conference taking place on the 30th, top-tier experts representing each industry will take the stage. They include 'Hannah Karp', Chief Communication Officer (CCO) of Warner Music, the global music empire; 'Eric Oh', a world-renowned animation director who was nominated for an Oscar; and 'Kim Dae-sik', a professor at KAIST and an authority on brain science and AI, who will lead in-depth discussions.

They analyze with precision the phenomenon of an industry structure shifting from being centered on 'creation' to 'curation', the tight tension and balance between human innate senses and AI technology, and the potential for new industrial expansion that can emerge through this shift.

The Essence of the AI Era Unpacked Through Visual Metaphor: Exhibition “Water”

The momentum of the conference will carry into a special exhibition running from the 2nd to the 13th of next month. In this exhibition, 'Water' is used as the core metaphor to present a wide variety of works to the public—archival materials, videos, and installation art, among others. This is a distinctive artistic project that meticulously recreates, within space, the complex process by which fragmented images transform—through human senses and interpretation—into a single, clear meaning.

Beyond Seoul, Toward New York—A Signal for Global Expansion

'QE (QuintEssence)' emphasized that this event will put an end to the wasteful back-and-forth debate over AI technology, and will serve as a milestone offering an innovative approach to how to reconfigure human agency and cultural standards. In addition, building on the successful launch of this Seoul edition, the organization expressed a strong commitment to expanding the platform to major cities around the world, including New York, going forward.
