Voices of AI - New Images and Voices for the Creative Future of Film
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the cultural and creative industries - both behind the camera in production and in front of it with actors. At the Innovation and Quality Center (IQZ) Berlin, Voices of AI explores this transformation.
The evening begins with a curated selection of short films that demonstrate how AI is already being used in creative practice - sometimes surprising, visionary, and occasionally controversial. Following the screenings, experts from film, art, technology, and society will discuss pressing questions:
- What new possibilities are emerging for storytelling and visual design?
- What role do humans play in artistic creation when AI is involved?
- How is AI changing the relationship between audiences and artists?
- How can creativity be protected when AI is part of the creative process?
The event invites open dialogue, bringing forward diverse perspectives and sparking fresh impulses for the creative future of cinema.
