Critical Examination of the Use of Artificial Intelligence as a Creative Tool in Editing and its Potential as a Creator in its own

Abstract

This thesis explores the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), as they can be applied to content creation methodologies and specifically film editing and post production. We provide an overview of the technologies and concepts involved and we will present and examine their effects on the creation of content, along with a few examples and key-studies. The applications will focus both on processes decreasing the human workload, while providing content insight and workflows steering, and at providing automatic content production. Meanwhile, we will critically examine the successes and limitations of this rapidly advancing technology in each of these areas, and we will further differentiate between the use of AI as a creative tool and its potential as a creator on its own.
