AI Resources for Producers

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology. Spada has actively engaged in the conversation by hosting discussions at its annual conference and collaborating with the NZWG on a dedicated webinar.     

To further support members and independent producers in navigating the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into your businesses and productions, Spada has compiled a range of valuable resources below. If incorporating AI at any stage of your project, Spada strongly recommends that members follow best practices—placing particular emphasis on copyright compliance and adherence to any relevant industry guidelines.
