Cinema & AI: Crossing the Threshold
Cinema is on the cusp of an AI powered revolution that promises to exponentially increase creativity, simplify production, reduce costs, and eliminate tedious tasks.
But this transformation brings forth challenges that we need to address:
-
Ensuring a balanced and equitable industry that respects the rights and roles of all creators, along with adequate consent, compensation, and credit.
-
Scrutinising the data sources AI models learn from, to prevent inadvertent creation or replication of cultural biases, and to accurately represent the breadth of human experience.
-
Navigating the rising sophistication of deep fake technologies, which poses a significant challenge in distinguishing between reality and deception. This calls for increased awareness and education to combat potential misinformation.
Come participate and be at the centre of this conversation at this pivotal juncture in the evolution of cinema.
