UC Connect: What does AI mean for the entertainment industries? 

In this talk, Associate Professor Adrian Clark looks at Generative AI, how it works, what it can do, where it might be heading, and what this all means for the entertainment industries. “We may be standing on the precipice of a new golden age of entertainment and storytelling, or perhaps Pandora’s box been inadvertently opened - never to be closed again,” Dr Clark says.
