This Friday, Talia Cotton will speak on "AI Ethics" at City and Regional Magazine Association's 49th Annual Design Conference in Denver, Colorado

This Friday, Talia Cotton will take the stage at the City and Regional Magazine Association’s 49th Annual Conference in Denver to lead a session on one of the most pressing issues facing the design industry: AI ethics.

As part of the conference’s design track, Talia’s talk will examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping the creative process—and the ethical responsibilities that come with it. With AI-generated imagery, automation, and editorial tooling becoming embedded in magazine workflows, her session will ask: What does “authorship” mean now? Who is accountable for the outcomes AI produces? And how can designers lead in setting ethical standards within their organizations?

The session is scheduled for Friday, June 6, from 10:00–11:00 AM MT, and is open to CRMA conference attendees. The event is held in Denver, Colorado, and hosted by 5280 Magazine.
