    Generative AI in the Creative Industries

    How Generative AI Is Shaping the Future of Storytelling, Design, and Game Development

    During the past years, we have seen a quantum leap in Generative AI technology for visual content production. On the one hand, this technology has become the bedrock of some commonplace features of traditional tools such as Photoshop. On the other hand, it has overnight turned "everyone on LinkedIn into a cartoonist". Or has it?

    In this webinar, we discuss how GenAI tools will impact professionals in the film and television industry, creative work in advertising and graphic design, as well as game development. What are the consequences to management, and how should individual professionals approach this transformation?

    We dive into the topic with the guest speakers Antti Ukkonen, University of Helsinki, and Nick Dorra, Haruworks.

    Do you want to learn more about this topic?

    Antti and Nick will share their knowledge in the new training program in October.

    The Generative AI in Creating Visual Content training program provides a comprehensive introduction to the key themes surrounding the use of Generative AI in creative industries. You will learn core technologies behind Generative AI, how these systems function, and the implications they have for visual content creation, and explore the technical, commercial, and legal dimensions of Generative AI - understanding not just how the tools work, but also how they can be used responsibly and effectively in production environments.
