Generative AI in Creating Visual Content
Foundations and Practices of Generative AI for Visual Content Production
Generative AI has rapidly evolved from a research curiosity into a practical tool for visual content creation, particularly for photography, graphic design, and filmmaking. This program aims to demystify generative AI by giving an overview of its technical, commercial, and legal aspects.
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.
Program content benefits both technical specialists and creative professionals, including producers, directors, marketing teams, and content creators. It combines introductory theory with hands-on learning. Participants engage with tool demonstrations, explore case studies, and participate in a practical workshop to experience the strengths and limitations of Generative AI in creative production.
