Fonts and AI Conference

Over the course of two days, the conference will explore the impact of AI on the world of type, covering everything from theory and AI models to practical implementations. Speakers will address community concerns, explore the legal and ethical implications of AI training models, and analyse the potential risks and opportunities associated with AI.
