The Round Table discussion is organised and moderated by Valérie Théveniaud-Violette (CEPIC) and Veneta Bullen (PRA) |
|||||
|
The Round Table is an open discussion between a group of image industry professionals. A series of questions will be debated as to the impact generative AI may or may not have upon the stock photo industry and as to how they plan to tackle or make use of the technology. The discussion will be collaborative. The panel will be engaging in sharing their thoughts and feelings about generative AI and the stock photo industry. In this fast-changing environment, we hope to uncover what visions they have for the future of their businesses and what role CEPIC could play in supporting them. The audience are warmly invited to take part in the discussion. |
