Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most debated technologies in the creative industries. Concerns about authorship, originality and artistic displacement often dominate the conversation. Yet within applied research environments where technology is developed in direct partnership with creators and storytellers, a different narrative emerges.
At Sheridan's Screen Industries Research and Training (SIRT) Centre, which advances innovation in storytelling and content creation through leading-edge applied research, AI is not positioned as a replacement for artistic expression. Instead, it is being explored as a tool that expands creative capacity and lowers barriers to innovation.
Reflected in Sheridan's recent recognition as a national leader in applied artificial intelligence by Research Infosource Inc. research college rankings, SIRT prioritizes pairing technical advancement with ethical governance to ensure its AI research is built on partner trust, high security standards and human centered design.
This approach is evident in two recent projects, through which SIRT is applying AI technologies to help creators reach their audiences in new and meaningful ways, establish additional pathways for revenue generation, improve workflow efficiencies and remain competitive in an increasingly digital space.
