Multimedia & AI: Transforming Media, Creativity, and Research

Hosted by the Department of Multimedia, Farook College (Autonomous), the conference unites thinkers, creators, and innovators shaping the AI-driven future.

The theme, “Multimedia & AI: Transforming Media, Creativity, and Research,” focuses on how AI reshapes the way we create, share, and experience media. As technology advances, it raises vital questions about creativity, ethics, and cultural identity. MITCON 2026 invites scholars, professionals, and students to reflect on these transformations and discuss how AI can empower human imagination responsibly. The conference emphasizes inclusive, ethical innovation that connects technology with culture and conscience—ensuring that artificial intelligence complements, rather than replaces, human creativity.
