Building AI for content and storytelling
UW Communication Leadership is hosting an interactive startup panel as part of our two-week AI Summer Academy. Join our program's students to hear from founders building AI products for content and storytelling — the opportunities the technology opens up, and the real challenges of bringing those products to market.
Moderated by Jay Howard, Artist in Residence and faculty with UW Communication Leadership.
