How do we make sense of the responsible use of Generative AI when engaging with audiovisual materials? As archivists and media professionals we should have a solid base of guidelines that we can fall back on. In this webinar that is exactly what we’ll attempt to do; provide critical reflections on the use, practical guidelines for using the technology and potential tools that can help detecting AI generated media.
On Wednesday 21 May, EUscreen invites you to engage in a responsible, user centered approach to Generative AI. We will address the implications for archives, we will take a step into the newsrooms that work with these tools on a daily basis, and we will take a deep dive into the world of Generative AI. Today, we can generate anything and everything. When does this create added value and when does it create a confusion of facts?
