Talk description: Angry Birds in the Age of Generative AI
Even in the age of Generative AI, brands still need to live up to their brand promise, deliver great stories and keep characters on brand and stories in canon. So, what has changed? Discover how AI is transforming the creative industries and why it's crucial for us to understand how AI tools work - what they can and can’t do - especially in regards to brands and IPs. Learn effective ways to safeguard your IP and ensure your creative vision isn't compromised by haphazard use of AI. This session will address the challenges, problems, and pitfalls, as well as the innovative possibilities AI can bring to game development, and where should we aim our innovative focus in this new age of Generative AI.
