AI in Creative Industries

Breakout Session
Description:   This session explores how Artificial Intelligence is transforming creative fields such as design, film, advertising, fashion, and visual arts. From AI-generated content and tools that enhance human creativity to personalized audience experiences and new production workflows, we’ll examine how AI is reshaping the way creative work is made and consumed.


10:00 – 10:15   Raising Fashion’s IQ: The Untapped Power of Data and AI in a Creative World

Lamia Cero & Ella Markota
Co-Founder @ Couture IQ, Co-Founder @ Couture IQ

When most people think about fashion, they imagine a designer sketching brilliant new outfits from pure inspiration. While this may be true for haute couture, everyday fashion is shaped very differently. Global brands now design with as much data as creativity: analyzing what sold last season, which silhouettes succeed in each region, and which colors are gaining traction. Machine learning models forecast what shoppers will want, and retailers like Zara use AI-driven analytics to decide which designs to produce and in what quantity. Fashion today isn’t just art — it’s a data-driven creative industry, with AI quietly guiding many of the decisions behind the scenes. In reality, women don’t say “I have nothing to wear.” What we really say is “I don’t know what to wear.” And that insight — that the issue is not lack of clothes but lack of guidance. This realization had led us to create a solution we called CoutureIQ, a digital stylist designed to help women get more from the clothes they already own. The platform can recommend looks tailored to the day’s weather or current trends, plan what to wear for a big event, or help pack efficiently for a trip — all based on the user’s own wardrobe and preferences. At its heart is an AI engine that learns an individual’s style and context, blending personal creativity with intelligent recommendations. The result is that the advice always feels personal (it’s tuned to your taste) and practical (it fits your real life). But the potential goes beyond convenience. By reimagining how we wear what we already have, AI-powered styling promotes sustainability, reduces waste, and makes fashion advice accessible to anyone with a smartphone. In this session, we’ll explore how AI is reshaping fashion at every level — from billion-dollar brand strategies to the daily choices in our closets — and how technology and creativity together are making style more personal, sustainable, and deeply human.

Hiring is broken—for both candidates and employers. Job seekers are tired of sending CVs into spam folders or being filtered out by algorithms before they’re ever heard. With Job-Bolt, they can skip the pile, interview instantly with an AI recruiter, and showcase their skills, strengths, and personality right away—on their own terms. For employers, the days of endless screening calls, email lists, and poorly vetted candidates are over. By posting a role, Job-Bolt automatically interviews every applicant, analyzes and compares them against one another, and delivers ranked shortlists with transcripts, insights, and full interview videos. The result: faster, fairer, and smarter hiring for everyone.

12:00 – 12:15   From Data to Value: Why Maturity Matters in Big Data Integration

Ivan Lukovic & Marija Djukic
Full Professor & Teaching Assistant @ University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences

Over the past 15 years, Big Data has become a key enabler across disciplines, offering organizations a competitive edge. However, many still struggle to integrate Big Data into operations due to insufficient organizational maturity. Maturity models provide a framework to assess an organization’s state in terms of data assets, technology infrastructure, processes, organization culture, and human resources, helping guide progress through maturity levels. Understanding and assessing organization’s Big Data maturity is required to bridge gaps, align efforts, and realize the full potential of data-driven decision-making. In long term, this challenge can be addressed by profiling interdisciplinary experts who combine knowledge of Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence with skills in Management and Economics, tailored to specific problem domains. In this talk, we address issues on evaluating organization maturity and how to come to more flexible and interdisciplinary oriented study models capable of producing various forms of digital managers and engineers, as a new profile of experts. Massive deployment of such experts is a way to significantly raise the level of organization maturity regarding capabilities for: information management, quality management, and big data analytics.
