 Monday, March 24, 2025 |  2:30 PM – 4:30 PM PT |  Virtual – Join from anywhere

How do we know when AI has been used in digital content? How can we make AI-generated work more transparent, responsible, and engaging?

Join San José State University and Swinburne University (Australia) for this exciting virtual event, where faculty and students will explore these questions through insightful talks and an international creative challenge.

This event has two parts:

Part 2: Adobe Creative Jam Challenge (For Students Only)

Following the speaker series, students will have the opportunity to participate in the Adobe Creative Jam Challenge, working in international teams to design an AI awareness campaign. This is a hands-on creative competition where students will apply ideas from the speaker series to develop an engaging campaign.

What to Expect in the Creative Jam

Students will work together to develop a bold, engaging campaign that raises awareness about AI in digital content. Teams will create:

• Campaign Graphics (social media images, posters, or a digital ad concept)
• A 30-60 second Video explaining their idea
• A Campaign Concept Overview (short PDF or slides detailing their strategy)

 The Challenge Focus:

• Label It: How can we visually indicate when AI has been used in creative work?
• Make It Engaging: How can your campaign capture attention and encourage students to think critically about AI?
• Real-World Impact: How can your idea be implemented in practical ways?

No prior design experience is needed—just creativity and curiosity about AI.

 Students: To participate, sign up.

Students can form their own team of 3 or be matched with others.
