Game Changer: Tom Paton on AI, Storytelling & Non Player Combat

What happens when you create the characters and the world - but let AI decide what happens next?

Filmmaker and AiMation founder, Tom Paton joins us for a fast-paced exploration of a new frontier in entertainment.  At the heart of the conversation is Non Player Combat, his ground-breaking AI reality series in which autonomous digital contestants make their own decisions, form alliances and determine the direction of the story - without a scripted outcome.

From creating believable AI characters to rethinking production workflows, budges and the role of the storyteller, Paton reveals what he has learned from pushing generative AI beyond the experiment and into long-form entertainment.  What can this emerging technology unlock for producers and creatives - and could the next generation of hit formats be stories even their creators can't predict?
