T. Romey & M. Walsch: AI - “I’m your staff writer!”

"I'M YOUR STAFF WRITER"  is an interactive explanatory and learning format for the development of films and series with Artificial Intelligence. Participants learn how to use AI for the development of films and series, but also as a sparring partner or virtual editorial colleague. They experience how virtual target audiences are integrated into the development process and test the latest AI tools that really work — from ChatGPT to custom-built bots. What can these tools do, and what are their limits? What issues arise — practical, legal, ethical — and how do we address them? And the most important question: Where does the human being stand in this game?
