Overview

Simultaneously, MAD STARS 2026 announced conference sessions under the theme ‘AMPLIFY’. These sessions will explore how AI and technology reshape the industry, featuring discussions on ‘Creative Intelligence’ and the ethical implications of AI, emphasizing that technology should serve as infrastructure for human imagination rather than a replacement for it.
