The AI and the Creative Industries Friday Series is part of a Media Entrepreneurship ProSeminar class, but will also be free and open to the public. The lectures are from 1-2pm every Friday from September-November (unless otherwise noted). The space can hold 80 people, but I expect an audience of 40-50 typically. The focus is loosely on how AI is being used in the Creative Industries. All lectures will be professionally recorded and view-able from the series website (unless otherwise requested). Presenters are welcome to invite as many folks as you would like. The format of the presentation can be workshop, lecture, demo or something else and can go from 30-50 minutes with questions to make 1 hour. We don’t pay a stipend, but we do record the presentations for you to use as you wish (and provide parking).
