Confluence of Generative AI and the Art of Filmmaking
Contemporary filmmaking stands at a pivotal convergence: the urgent shift towards generative AI as a core creative tool, the reckoning with ethical and traditional norms, and the accelerating pace of AI research.
Please join us for lighting talks and open discussions on generative AI and the art of filmmaking.
Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Community, we are excited to host our diverse lineup of speakers -- from creative AI researchers to award-winning filmmakers -- as they share state-of-the-art workflows, experiences and outlook on future of filmmaking with AI tools.
Speakers from Adobe Research, Asteria Films, Eleven Labs, Entertainment Tech Center @ University of Southern California, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) and more.
