While AI has been the subject of much speculation and hand-wringing as of late, the truth is that various iterations of the advancing technology have been in play for years, providing efficiencies and aiding workflow across industries. And in contrast to the doom-and-gloom predictions, more and more producers are learning how to use the tech “for good” – whether it’s in the development process, during shooting, in the edit suite, and beyond. This session will focus on the myriad ways that AI and GAI can, and will, positively impact unscripted and non-fiction production going forward, with tips from savvy producers and experts on how to best use the tech for creative and practical purposes.

Whether it’s a global unscripted franchise such as “Got Talent” striking a lucrative securitization deal, a hit documentary serving as the launch point of a scripted project, or a series that struck gold via linear transforming into a multi-platform phenomenon, the value of strong IP — and the knowhow for successfully exploiting it — cannot be overstated. This session will bring together producers behind hot properties and the deal architects who are helping forge future paths for IP, and generating new revenue streams for all concerned.

This session brings together commissioners and prodcos to scope out the opportunities for producers of all stripes to team up with the right partners and get into the game. How far afield will interest - and the range of sports-related non-fiction concepts - venture, and what areas are ripe for exploration?
