✨ Merenla Imsong on Storytelling in the Age of AI | NLF 2025 ✨
Kohima | Dec 12
Actor, writer and content creator Merenla Imsong captivated audiences at the Nagaland Literature Festival 2025 as she shared thoughtful insights on creativity, humour and storytelling in today’s AI-driven world.
Speaking on the growing influence of artificial intelligence and platforms like ChatGPT, Merenla acknowledged their expanding role in content creation, but emphasized that true creativity remains deeply human.
“AI can support and amplify ideas, but the real intelligence and creativity come from within us,” she said, highlighting the importance of emotion, intuition and lived experience in meaningful storytelling.
She encouraged young creators to embrace technology as a tool — not a replacement — and stressed that impactful stories emerge when innovation is balanced with authenticity, empathy and a strong personal voice.
Merenla’s address aligned closely with this year’s NLF theme, “Art & Artifice: Storytelling in the Age of AI.”
