The past decade has seen a rapid explosion in the development of generative artificial intelligence tools used to instantly produce stunning images, expressive written text, and life-like audio. Collaborative Futures is a speculative film studio that will examine and critique the adoption of these tools as well as other potential applications of AI in every day life. Together, we will envision the future impact of AI on different facets of life, such as health care, societal roles, and human creativity, as well as the potential conflicts that may arise from these technologies.
While crafting these future worlds, students will be challenged to work collaboratively with AI tools such as Midjourney, DALLE, and ChatGPT to imagine human-centered narratives within their AI driven future. Students will work in teams to develop a 3-act story, generate concept art, design characters, write dialogue, and envision promotional materials for their film. In addition to these deliverables, students will be asked to critically evaluate the work they create with AI by iterating on the results and rationalizing creative decisions along the way. Ultimately, each student should strive to find a healthy balance between the inspiration they receive from AI and their own creative vision.
