Artificial Intelligence & Experience Creation
The Artificial Intelligence and Experience Creation session will offer delegates the opportunity to explore the potential and the difficulties presented by recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Phil Hettema, THG, and Michael Libby, Worldbuildr, will be speaking about the significance of this technology for the themed entertainment sector.
The session will ask questions such as: Is artificial intelligence an exciting new tool for designers and makers of immersive worlds? Or is it merely a means to shortcut creativity? And how will all of this affect the real visitor experience? What are the long-term repercussions, and how can we protect (and foster) original concepts?
Hettema and Libby will share use cases for artificial intelligence, weed through the hype, and envisage what the sector might look like in the not-too-distant future.
