I have two key recommendations for approaching AI as an arts educator and an expert in AI for the creative industries. First: to explore its creative possibilities with an open mind. And second: to double down on what makes us human.
To the first – think of AI as a tool, not an overlord. It's not about to replace the drama educator, and you certainly can't outsource your creativity to it. AI is a very broad term, but generally speaking, generative AI can generate text, images, video and music almost instantly, and in some cases, to an exceptionally high standard. But like any tool, they require some skill to get the most out of them, and they're certainly not perfect. One of my personal best use-cases is to ask the chatbot Claude. AI to constructively criticise things I'm writing. But I'd never ask it to write something for me and to just copy and paste the results.
