Navigating Human Creativity in the Age of AI | Emil Drud | TEDxHochschuleBremerhaven

In an age shaped by artificial intelligence, what makes human creativity unique? In this talk, Emil explores how we can navigate uncertainty, embrace curiosity and find meaning in the relationship between humans and machines. Drawing on the principles of the Creative Odyssey, Emil invites us to see creativity as a form of resilience, courage, and a way of being in the world. Emil Drud is an interdisciplinary creative, designer, and entrepreneur exploring the intersections of art, technology, and business. With the sensitivity of an artist, the curiosity of a philosopher, and the mindset of a maker, his work spans audio engineering, music production, writing, agile methodologies, and workshop facilitation—connecting ideas across disciplines and bringing them to life with clarity and impact.
A lifelong learner, Emil thrives in complexity. Currently studying Business Creation, Innovation, and Leadership at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, he explores how creativity thrives in uncertain and complex environments.
As host of the Creative Odyssey podcast and author of the upcoming Navigating the Creative Odyssey, Emil explores creativity as a way of seeing, thinking, and being in the world—inviting others to embrace curiosity, make peace with chaos, and create with courage. 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
