Our creativity reflects our deepest selves. As Einstein said, imagination "encircles the world". Our minds dance in realms of possibility beyond computation.
Art is an extension of the human spirit. As Picasso said, "art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life". It speaks through emotion, not calculation.
Music captures our shared humanity. From Bach's precision to Coltrane's improvisation, it explores uncharted territories. As Armstrong said, "What we play is life".
Human creatives connect "from the heart". Our ideas stem from lived experiences, love, and loss, resonating across times and cultures.
AI doesn't replace human creativity but enhances it. Together, we spark progress, challenge conventions, and create discoveries "closest to the divine".
We are dreamers and risk-takers. In a world of algorithms, let us inspire and push boundaries with distinctly human creativity.
To read our full manifesto, show support and sign up to become an advocate for the role of human creativity in an AI world,
"Whatever tools we use, I believe human creativity is the unique essence that brings depth, emotion, and vision to everything we create. While AI continues to be a powerful collaborator that amplifies our creative potential, it is our imagination and lived experiences that truly push boundaries, make real connections, and ultimately chart the course toward a future that’s genuinely inspiring and authentically human."

"Every creative act is a rebellion against the reality we are familiar with. If you want to change the world, you have to be able to see what is not, but what could be."

"I don't want to devote myself to something that was created without devotion."

"Art and AI together challenge our perception of creativity, showing that technology can enhance rather than replace the human touch. This partnership redefines what it means to create, merging precision with intuition to forge new kinds of artistic expressions."
Hekuran Avdili (SibeSiech)
AI Artist and Senior Art Director
"At the intersection of AI and art lies a profound opportunity to transcend traditional boundaries and create experiences that bring us all closer together as a society. By embracing the powerful convergence of art and technology, I have found myself able to forge new paths in artistic expression, transforming how we perceive, create, and connect through art while amplifying the depth of human imagination and emotional resonance. I want to unlock this superpower for everyone."

"AI is the mirror in which we can discover what is and what isn’t essential about our own human nature. Looking deep enough into this mirror, everyone can see that it is ultimately our own empathy and imagination which is at the very heart of what connects us as human beings. And which is also the only thing that can guide us towards building a future we may call humane."
John Deer
Artist and Creative Thinker
"Creativity is the means to navigate the duality of existence, a way to unravel the raw, often darker truths of what it means to be human. Through AI, creativity finds new dimensions — becoming a medium for deeper exploration and self-discovery. It allows us not just to create and see but to move through the depths of the mind and heart, transforming static ideas into dynamic expressions that confront, reshape, and redefine who we are."
