The Humanities Center's 2026 Spring Lecture Series on "AI in Action: The Future of Humans" continues on Monday, March 9 at 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies with Dakota Nanton, Assistant Professor of Cinema and Humanities Center Faculty Fellow, who will speak on "Artificial Imagination: Filmmaking in the Age of AI.”
In a discussion of how AI is both challenging and enhancing the future of filmmaking, Professor Nanton will examine the technological capabilities of AI, the creative opportunities it offers, and the ethical dilemmas it raises. Drawing on his own professional training and research in AI filmmaking, the lecture will aim to demystify current AI tools and foster critical conversation around their implications for media creation, cultural representation, and artistic ownership.
The spring 2026 lecture series is organized by Amy Weiss, Associate Professor of Judaic Studies and History, in association with Nicholas Ealy, Humanities Center Director. For more information on the Humanities Center, visit our website.
