Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

This program aims to provide comprehensive and integrated skills in Artificial Intelligence as applied to the audiovisual sector, transforming AI into a responsible professional tool by balancing technical mastery with a solid understanding of legislation and ethical issues. The course is structured around three key areas:

Technological Literacy: the architecture of AI will be analysed, moving from theoretical concepts to generative models — such as GANs and diffusion models — that are revolutionising the creation of images and videos.

Regulation and Protection: participants will explore the regulatory framework, including the European AI Act and the GDPR, and learn how to protect copyright and personality rights (voice and image) in synthetic productions.

Practical Application and Methodology: through real-world case studies and hands-on workshops, participants will analyse production workflows and learn to interact with AI tools to achieve professional results throughout the production chain.

Why a course on Introduction to Artificial Intelligence?
 Artificial intelligence represents one of the most significant technological transformations of our time. The growing adoption of AI-based tools is reshaping the world of work and learning, with effects set to progressively impact all economic and professional sectors.

This training program was conceived to introduce participants to the fundamental principles of artificial intelligence as applied to the audiovisual sector, illustrating how it works, its areas of application and its main implications for professional practice. The course aims to provide an accessible and cross-disciplinary knowledge base, essential for navigating a constantly evolving technological landscape.

Who is this course for?
 This course is designed for a broad audience and is equally valuable for those already working in creative, production, technical or audiovisual roles, and for professionals in administrative, operational or management positions who need to understand how these tools are reshaping their workflows.

The course is designed for approximately 20 participants.
