How can filmmakers balance creativity, historical accuracy, and accountability in the age of AI? This conversation explores how emerging technologies are reshaping documentary storytelling and what ethical responsibility looks like for creators today.

Moving beyond utopian or dystopian hype, the seminar considers how AI is intersecting with nonfiction practice from tools used by editors and VFX artists to conceptual storytelling approaches.

Speakers will also address bias, authorship, evolving ethical guidelines, and the impact of AI on creative labor.

Find out more about both the promise and the pitfalls of AI, and how to engage these tools while protecting the integrity of stories, subjects, and archives.
