In this collaborative seminar for ZHdK and ETH Students, we aim to bring together the creative vision and the technical expertise of both of Film and Information Technology and Electrical Engineering students to collaboratively craft a plot for a short film that explores the intricate ethical questions posed by the use of AI technologies.
Learning objective
The aim of this seminar is to guide students through a structured process, from initial concept development to scriptwriting, ensuring that the film not only captivates its audience but also fosters deeper reflections on the ethical dimensions of AI. The students will be encouraged to use AI tools (LLM’s, text to image programs, et al) for script writing and mood boards.
