This year NCAC is calling on young filmmakers to create short films that explore the theme of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Free Expression.

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence presents new opportunities and challenges, raising questions about free expression protections under the First Amendment. Consider the following ideas when thinking about the social, political, and economic implications of AI as it relates to free speech:

  • Student cheating
  • Copyright and AI-generated content
  • Disinformation, including the creation of fake images such as deepfakes
  • Free speech, and whether AI-generated content is protected expression
  • Government regulations and AI
  • Ethics, Art, and Artistic Expression
  • AI censoring content
