Prudential Singapore and AI CREATE Unveil The Dream Creator at ArtScience Museum

Prudential Singapore, in partnership with AI CREATE, introduces The Dream Creator, an innovative AI-driven interactive installation making its debut at the ArtScience Museum.

This installation is a centrepiece of the “In the Ether – A Festival of Technology and Innovation,” which is set to unfold from 1 to 30 September 2024 in Singapore.

The Dream Creator is designed to engage visitors by allowing them to turn their imagination into dynamic digital art.

Through an immersive experience guided by YAI, AI CREATE's vibrant pink mascot, participants will be able to create and visualise unique characters, scenarios, and styles that come to life on a large screen.

This initiative transforms personal dreams into a collective display of creativity and technological innovation.

Goh Theng Kiat, Chief Customer Officer at Prudential Singapore, articulated the significance of this venture:

“Prudential is committed to supporting people in achieving their well-being needs for today and the future. ‘The Dream Creator’ pushes the boundaries of technology and creativity, making AI accessible to everyone and encouraging reflection on life choices and aspirations.”

Kiat further expressed hope that the installation would inspire individuals to consider their mental and physical wellness and understand how today’s choices can pave the way for a more fulfilling future.

AI CREATE, renowned for its exploration of the intersection between artificial intelligence and creativity, is bringing its expertise to this installation.

David Webster, Co-Founder of AI CREATE, highlighted the impact of The Dream Creator:

“We believe that The Dream Creator will not only entertain but also educate the public on the potential of AI in creative industries. It's about making the abstract power of AI tangible and inspiring new ways of thinking about technology and art.”

Creator RenAIssance: A Showcase of AI in Filmmaking
