AI training for production roles in scripted television

When most people think of AI, they picture tools that generate text, images, or video - but in production management, the story is broader. For example, enterprise AI platforms can handle scheduling, budgets, and rights management, and agentic AI systems can make autonomous decisions and trigger workflows. These tools can shape the way productions are planned and delivered - but knowing when to trust it, when to question it, and how to protect your work (and your team!) is key.

Designed specifically for production managers, coordinators, and junior production staff working across scripted TV, this session will be delivered by a media and entertainment lawyer specialising in AI. It is designed to cut through the hype and offer clear insight on what AI really means for your projects, your people, and your rights.
