Based on the strategic priority “Supporting our Creative Sector”, this project plans to work with researchers / practitioners with experience in the area of creative industries and the use of current relevant artificial intelligence technologies (AI) in creative practice to carry out a research project. 

The main output of the research project is to produce a report which identifies potential future developments in the field of creativity and AI and provide clear recommendations which could support future funding allocation for Creative Waterford and other programmes.

The main work of the project will be to create an agreed methodology, identify local stakeholders and champions, carry out interviews & survey stakeholders and produce a final report in consultation with the Creative Waterford team.

Key Objectives:

1. To create a picture of current issues and opportunities surrounding the use of relevant AI technology in creative practice and in creative industries settings with practical real life examples.

2. To document the experiences of creatives in using AI, to identify areas of concern, and explore opportunities.

4. To provide evidence-based recommendations which may be used as a funding model to support Waterford’s creative community in the use of AI.
