AI-UPD8

Inspiring and advising on the use of AI in game, film, media, communication and marketing contexts.

"AI offers interesting opportunities for optimizing workflows"

The AI-UPD8 project is a co-operation between the “DAE Research” and “Business and Media” research groups of Howest. The goal of this project is to continue being a living knowledge and expertise center for questions from Flemish organizations on the use of AI in game, film, media, communication and marketing contexts. Our intention with this projects is to inspire, to advise, and in specific cases even to help guide implementation. This results in a series of talks, webinars, practical experiments, workshops and in-person meetups, as well as a living database with a curated overview of innovative technology and tools organized by specific use case and with the required information to make informed decissions regarding adoption and integration.
