At Budakov Films, we are committed to pushing creative boundaries, integrating cutting-edge technologies, and contributing to impactful educational initiatives. We are proud to be a partner in the Erasmus+ co-funded project AI Creatives: Enhancing Creativity & Ethical Innovation in the Digital Age (Project No. 2024-2-PT01-KA210-VET-000290218).
This project represents a transformative approach to harnessing AI in the creative industries while upholding ethical standards. As part of this initiative, we will collaborate with B.Real (Portugal), the project coordinator, and Mindleap (Spain) to ensure that AI-driven creativity is inclusive, responsible, and impactful.
Kicking Off a Game-Changing Initiative
Our journey began with a highly productive Kick-Off Meeting, where we set the foundation for the project’s success. Hosted and moderated by B.Real, this virtual gathering brought together key stakeholders from across Europe to define objectives, align expectations, and chart the roadmap for the upcoming months.
During the meeting, we covered several essential components, including:
Project Management
A structured and well-organized project management approach was established, including:
- Defining partner responsibilities and ensuring clear communication
- Reviewing the Gantt chart to set timelines and milestones
- Establishing processes for smooth coordination across countries
Dissemination Plan: Making AI Creatives Heard
Budakov Films is leading the dissemination efforts, ensuring that AI Creatives reaches the right audiences, from creative professionals to educators, students, and policymakers. We presented a detailed dissemination strategy, fine-tuning it with Mindleap to align marketing efforts, media engagement, and community involvement.
The dissemination strategy focuses on:
- Raising awareness about the ethical implications of AI in creative industries
- Engaging stakeholders through interactive content, including videos, blogs, and social media
- Creating visually compelling materials that showcase AI-driven creativity
Quality Assurance Plan
To ensure high-impact results, a robust quality assurance framework was outlined, which includes:
- Monitoring project implementation
- Establishing key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Ensuring all deliverables maintain a high standard of accuracy and accessibility
Key Activities: What’s Next?
Activity 1: Creative AI Strategy Handbook
One of the project’s first deliverables is the Creative AI Strategy Handbook, which will provide guidance on ethical AI implementation in creative industries. During the Kick-Off Meeting, discussions focused on:
- The methodology for conducting focus-group interviews with AI experts and creative professionals
- The structure and themes of the handbook
- Ensuring inclusivity and accessibility in AI-driven creative strategies
Activity 2: Creative Mastery Workshops & Training Video Development
AI Creatives will also develop interactive workshops and training videos to equip creatives with the skills to ethically integrate AI into their work. Budakov Films will play a key role in producing high-quality training videos, leveraging expertise in film production and digital education.
Activity 3: Practical Implementation & Community Outreach
AI Creatives prioritizes community engagement and real-world implementation, ensuring that AI is used responsibly in creative sectors. The outreach strategy includes:
- Hands-on projects that allow creatives to experiment with AI tools
- Public discussions on AI ethics in digital content creation
- Collaborative initiatives with industry leaders, policymakers, and educators
Why This Matters for the Future of Creativity and AI
The AI revolution is changing the way creative professionals work—whether in film, design, music, or digital media. While AI-powered tools offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation, they also raise critical questions:
- How can AI enhance human creativity instead of replacing it?
- What are the ethical risks of AI-generated content?
- How can diversity and inclusivity be ensured in AI-driven artistic expression?
Through the AI Creatives project, these challenges will be addressed by fostering a responsible, ethical, and human-centered approach to AI in the creative industries.
