The Alma Mater Europaea University, in collaboration with the journals Media Research and Media, Culture and Public Relations, the Faculty of Croatian Studies of the University of Zagreb, the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the University of Zagreb, the Croatian Catholic University, the company Media Net Ltd., and the Croatian Community of Innovators, as well as the journals Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems and Acta graphica, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, and the Agency for Electronic Media, organized the international scientific conference "Society and Technology 2024: Creative Industries and Artificial Intelligence", held on April 18–19, 2024, at ZICER, the Zagreb Innovation Center.

The event brought together experts, scientists, and practitioners to share new insights and ideas about the development of artificial intelligence and creative industries as drivers of modern society. In a world where the boundaries between technology, culture, and science are increasingly blurred, hosting international scientific conferences is not only an academic honor but also a vital tool for fostering innovation, economic development, and international cooperation. Such conferences offer a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and the latest achievements, opening doors to new research, projects, and technologies with far-reaching societal impacts. /…/

Abstracts of the papers were published in the Proceedings of the 29th International Scientific Conference Society and Technology 2024 - Creative Industries and Artificial Intelligence: Book of Abstracts, issued by the Alma Mater Europaea University. Papers accepted for publication were published in the journals supporting the conference, while works by authors who chose to publish within the conference proceedings were included in this publication.

These papers make a significant contribution to understanding the interconnection between technology, the creative industry, and society. By analyzing the role of artificial intelligence, the authors explore its impact on the creation, distribution, and consumption of content, economic models, and social structures while simultaneously addressing ethical challenges and innovation opportunities. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the papers offer practical solutions to the challenges brought by the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative industries, paving the way for new research and technological solutions.
