About the speakers:

Omar Karim, pioneering creative director and AI image maker
Omar has transformed storytelling with his blend of art and technology. With over 14 years of experience collaborating with top fashion and lifestyle brands including Nike, Burberry, Prada, ASICS, BBC, Nokia, Sony and Beats by Dre he has earned a reputation for pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo.

More recently, Omar has been at the forefront of the rapidly evolving field of AI for creativity. During his time at Meta, he began exploring the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance the creative process, and has since become a leading voice in this emerging space.

Drawing on his deep understanding of design, art, and technology, Omar has developed a unique approach to image-making that blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge AI tools. His work reflects a passion for experimentation and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of visual storytelling.

Omar's passion for exploring the potential of AI in creative expression continues to drive his work. In his latest project, he created the first physical camera with an AI brain. This cutting-edge technology is capable of "imagining" scenes and creating stunning images that challenge our perceptions of what is possible.

Through this project and others, Omar is pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve with AI, and is helping to pave the way for a new era of creative expression. His dedication to innovation and his commitment to exploring the potential of AI is truly inspiring, and he remains one of the most exciting figures in the field of creative technology.

Norts, co-founder, The Peeps
Formerly a session musician, ad copywriter and agency creative director, Richard Norton aka Norts made the seemingly left-field decision to move into creative AI way back in 2018. Together with his fellow Peeps co-founder Derek Ahmedzai, he has subsequently sailed a weird adventure applying AI commercially for a myriad of brands, agencies and PR businesses. Highlights include making a giant AI art installation for Durex, subverting the 2022 Qatar World Cup with digital rainbow flags, crafting the world's first AI gin, and creating an AI science curator and activist who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Brian Cox and Hannah Fry. On their journey, Norts and Derek have also had the good fortune to snaffle a bunch of industry awards for their efforts including a DMA Gold and a Drum Award.
