AI is going to change everything. Apparently.

Education. Work. Creativity. Maybe even humanity itself.
But there’s one group we don’t always hear enough from -
Young people.

What do they actually think about AI?

Students from Durham Sixth Form Centre have been exploring that question through photography, generative AI, cyanotype, mixed media and graphic design.

Their work asks what happens when a camera stops simply recording who we are and an algorithm starts imagining who we might be.

The adults are having some very big conversations about AI.
Maybe it’s time we listened to the people who will live with it.
