As the Director of MTFLabs, Michela Magas curates and leads an ecosystem that specialises in democratising AI innovation. At events around the world, she brings together a diverse range of expert scientists and world class artists to experiment with cutting edge technologies and respond to grand challenges. At the core of this democratisation of technology is a key provocation: that there is a fundamental flaw in relying on binary technologies. The problem goes right back to the origins of Western thought and reason. Logic is based on a limiting polarity: One and Zero. Good and Bad. Right and Wrong. On and Off. Human and Technological. Male and Female. The era of AI requires new mental models. One of its key challenges lies in our definition of what it means to be a rational and ethical human being. We unleash extraordinary human powers when we join forces to create AI tools and design systems that augment our physical, emotional and rational capabilities. But for this to happen, what we mean by reasonable must change. Innovation catalyst who bridges the worlds of science and art, design and technology, and academic research and industry, with a track record of over 25 years of innovation. She is innovation advisor to the European Commission and the G7 leaders, and the creator of the Industry Commons.
In 2017 she was awarded European Woman Innovator of the Year and in 2016 she was presented with an Innovation Luminary Award for Creative Innovation.
She is the founder of Music Tech Fest, a global community platform of over 7000 creative innovators and scientific researchers. The platform provides a test case for innovation in areas as diverse as neuroscience, forestry and microcomputing.

During 2009. recession which closed most of the architectural studios and construction companies, Siniša literally overnight lost his profession as 3d modeler and architectural visualization expert, and found himself in a creative limbo with lingering question - what now? The answer to that existential question came along with the recreative running, a new hobby he discovered in 2013., which shifted his creative career in an unexpected direction. Being creative nowadays is not an easy job, especially if you are asked to fit into some framework that limits you and does not allow you to do your best, put your brain in gear 5 and simply - create. I agree with that, which is why I decided not to look for a place to fit in, but to make it myself - designing finisher medals and daily production of satirical photomontages can hardly be called titles that you will enter in your workbook, but to me this job is honest it cheers me up and allows me creative freedom that I would hardly, if ever, find in a corporate environment.
Yes, you could say I'm very happy with what I'm doing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
