About the event
This virtual CBDF Market Summit session will explore how artificial intelligence is affecting the film industry. We will use the Autonomous Creator Singularity & Algorithmic Displacement (ACSAD) model as a framework to examine how AI is influencing creativity, production costs, career opportunities, and the future of independent filmmaking.
Attendees will gain a balanced understanding of both the opportunities and challenges presented by using artificial intelligence in film production workflows. The discussion will conclude with audience questions, encouraging meaningful dialogue about the relationship between artificial intelligence, creators, and creative industries.
