/ About this event
AI is making creative work faster, cheaper, and more abundant than ever.
But when almost anything can be generated in seconds, what becomes more valuable?
We already pay more for handmade goods, artisan food, and experiences where craftsmanship and human effort matter. Could creativity be next? Will “Made by Humans” become a premium — or, if the final result is just as good, will audiences simply choose what is cheaper and faster?
Join us for a candid, collective conversation bringing together filmmakers and creators, AI builders and technologists, investors, and the audiences who ultimately experience and pay for their work.
We’ll explore:
When does AI empower a creator — and when does it replace one? Does knowing how something was made change how much we value it? Would you pay more for something created by humans? If AI lowers the cost of creation, where does the value move? Could “Made by Humans” become the next mark of craftsmanship? And in the AI gold rush, how do we capture new opportunities without losing the originality and human connection that make creativity matter?
This won't be a conversation where experts talk and everyone else listens. Your perspective is part of the discussion.
Creators tell us what they want to preserve. Technologists show us what is becoming possible. Investors help determine what gets funded and scaled. And audiences ultimately decide what they watch, love, share — and pay for.
The People Who Make × The People Who Build × The People Who Experience
The future of creativity won't be shaped by any one group alone.
We're bringing these different perspectives into the same room to explore what human creativity is worth in an age when machines can create too.
More speakers to be announced, representing AI and creative technology, entertainment, investment, and the broader creative economy.
Come for the Conversation. Stay for the Dim Sum.
We'll gather at Taste of Beauty, West Hollywood’s plant-based fine dining destination, where plant-based dining is designed to feel indulgent, creative, and unexpected.
It’s an especially fitting setting for a conversation about craftsmanship, innovation, and how we decide what something is worth.
And because a signature DIMSUMX gathering always comes with something delicious to share, light plant-based dim sum will be served as we continue the conversation and connect around the table.
About DIMSUMX
DIMSUMX creates curated gatherings designed around meaningful conversation and unexpected connection.
The name dim sum is often translated as “touch the heart.”
AI may change the cost of making things.
Together, we’ll explore what the human touch is worth.
