Adam Makarucha
IBM Client Engineering Senior Leader
Dr. Adam Makarucha is a crackpot inventor and AI engineer who has been creating chaos in the tech industry for over 8 years.
But Adam's not just about work. He's also a bit of a Renaissance man, with a passion for colorizing and remastering images and video. He even used his AI skills to help Qantas celebrate their centenary in style. And, as a side gig, he's been known to create AI-driven deep fakes of himself to compete in comedy battles against professional comedians. Because, why not?
Now, as a member of the IBM Client Engineering team in Australia, Adam is on a mission to unleash the full potential of generative AI on the world. Or, at the very least, to automate the routine tasks that we all encounter in our daily work lives. It's a lofty goal, but someone's gotta do it. And who better than a mad scientist like Adam?

Is AI the Next Gen of Storytelling?
TUE, OCT 17, 2:00 PM
Conference
For millennia, humans have told stories - from oral histories about where we came from, to art as an expression of our identities and culture. Now, with the rapid development of generative AI and its ability to generate realistic images, videos, music, and even novels, is the next generation of storytelling being led by machines?
Join us to discuss how AI is changing the way humans tell our stories and how we report tomorrow’s news and the future of art. This panel is for storytellers, technologists, or anyone simply curious about the evolving landscape of AI.
