The AI-Creative Economy: Innovation Beyond the Hype
Innovation, marketing, media · Cape Town AI keynote speaker
African creative industries are already using AI — often without a strategy, and often on models trained overwhelmingly on Western catalogues. This talk is for innovation, marketing, and media rooms that want to know what to build rather than what to fear. Gift is founder of Auraa.Africa, the platform behind South Africa’s first AI-generated amapiano album, and he stays on the facts: DSP titles, dated press, and the gap between a tool and a catalogue. He does not invent stream counts or prizes. The hour covers how AI changes music, content, and brand work on this continent, where Western defaults flatten African genre, and how a team can commission, credit, and ship without pretending the legal and cultural questions are settled. Formats: keynote, workshop, or virtual. Pair with the Auraa page if the room is an artist or label.
