Join the Webinar on AI and Creativity

On February 4, 2026, Amana Inc., a leader in visual communication and production based in Tokyo, will hold an insightful webinar titled "AI × Creative: Are Humans Unnecessary? -- The Production Process of AI Creative Studio." This event aims to explore the evolving dynamics between humans and artificial intelligence in the creative sector, specifically how AI influences decision-making in production.

Over recent years, generative AI has revolutionized the industry, significantly enhancing the productivity of video and visual production. Creators today can quickly generate high-quality content that meets industry standards. However, this rapid advancement also brings challenges for brands and companies. Decision-making around quality and acceptability has become increasingly complex. Questions such as "What constitutes high quality?" and "Where do we draw the line?" are increasingly difficult to answer, leading to blurred lines around accountability in creative processes.

This webinar will draw from the production of the VISION MOVIE, developed by Amana's AI architects (A3). The process will illustrate where discomfort may arise from AI outputs and how humans can identify discrepancies that brands cannot overlook. By dissecting this production journey, attendees will gain insights into the practical aspects of integrating human judgment within AI-driven processes.

Furthermore, the session will showcase the 'Image to Multichannel' (i2m) approach, highlighting how a single core visual can be effectively disseminated across multiple channels. This segment will provide valuable practical insights into incorporating human decision-making in production workflows, making it particularly relevant for creative professionals.
