AI Inspirational Lab in partnership with ACE Producers

For many producers within our industry AI may feel like this vast and infinite space cramped with information. How does one find their way through all the available technology without losing the collaborative synergy between human ability and AI efficiency.
The AI Inspirational Lab is the solution for producers who are looking to expand their knowledge in the fast-paced ever-changing world of AI. Expert Maciej Żemojcin, joined by key speakers in the field, will guide producers through this process with a series of interactive lectures, case studies and group work, to provide producers with an extensive overview of current AI tools, and ways to effectively incorporate these tools within their own production processes.
