As artificial intelligence stands to become increasingly present in concept development and visual storytelling, production designers and artists are grappling with how these tools shape creative authorship and intent. This panel examines the complex relationship between human creativity and machine-generated imagery — from idea generation to real-time environments and virtual production — exploring both the opportunities and the challenges AI introduces to established design workflows.
