The Factory of the Imagination: Creative Agency vs. Agentic AI

Featuring Alexander Reben, Entrepreneur, Roboticist, First OpenAI Artist in Residence
Moderated by Kc Ifeanyi, Executive director of editorial programming, Fast Company

As generative AI masters the mechanics of creation, the question is no longer about how we build but what we choose to bring into the world. In a live participatory session, Alexander Reben, roboticist, entrepreneur, and first artist in residence at OpenAI and Meta, unveils his new venture and a new category: infrastructure for imagination. Reben’s vision is simple and radical: Build the bridge between thought and thing, and ensure human imagination runs it at all costs.
