Can AI enter a real film without killing what's human? Live case study
A live case study run on a real project. A documentary director and a cinematographer sit down over one specific film and decide in public: here AI goes in, here it does not, and here it goes in on a condition. These are not opinions about technology in general but decisions taken in front of the room, with reasons and with the risk those decisions carry for a film somebody funded and gave their time to.
- The starting point: Łukasz's real project
- If we make this film for 18 months, where does AI go in?
- And where absolutely not
- Decisions live on stage, not opinions
