AI is a vast and growing topic – where are we now in relation to copyright regulations, current usage within the audiovisual industry and what impact it is and/or will potentially have on our industry.

Many companies are using AI technology to enhance productivity, enable content to be sourced faster and improve overall experience; they feel this should be seen as a helping tool rather than hindrance – what are the good and bad points to be aware of? How can we deal with or identify AI created content or deep fakes? Will we see an increase in AI created footage within productions?

This workshop is an opportunity to hear from the professionals but also a chance to ask your questions.

THE PANEL

Nick has been a professional photographer all his working life. More latterly, he has also become the Business & Legal adviser to the Association of Photographers (AOP) and their members and undertaken a post-grad diploma in Law to support that work.

Having a foot in both camps of creator and adviser gives him a great perspective of the issues other creatives face on a regular basis, such as copyright infringement, contractual wrangles, unpaid invoices, and, of course, the topic of the moment; generative-AI. As part of the AOP campaigning and lobbying work, Nick takes part in a number of committees and fora, some of which feed directly into government, and through this work, the collective voice of the AOP membership can be heard.
