Film Industry

How does artificial intelligence affect the film, TV, and book industries – and how should we address the challenges and opportunities that the technology brings?

On Thursday 28.08, Bull invites you to a breakfast seminar on AI and copyright, industry experiences, and the need for regulation. Through short presentations, you will gain insight into how different stakeholders work with AI today, from Nordisk Film to the book industry, the film school, research environments, and VFX studios.

The seminar concludes with a panel discussion featuring key industry voices.
