PANEL: WHO IS THE ARTIST HERE? AM I OR THE AI?

09/06 FRI 13:00 THEATRE &TD

The rise of the AI applications during the last months echoed like a meteorite on everyone's computers, raising a big cloud of fog and dust! Are we destined as a species? How did artists react and how does AI created films look like? How do we recognize them? Have artists became unnecessary? And not only artists but many others? Is this really AI or not quite yet? Do AI made films in a week deserve to be in the competition, side by side, with films made by e.g. a small, dedicated team working on it for years, sometimes by hand? What about the copyright of those artists that AI uses as a template? Will art change in a way painting has changed with the invention of the camera? All these and many other questions are discussed by a small group of people who do not claim to be experts, thus, are there any experts in this field yet?
