Advisory Board

Alexandre Teodoresco
Les 7 Doigts
Director, Strategic Development and Innovation
"As the adoption of AI and new technologies keeps on accelerating, the entertainment sector is facing a significant potential for disruption. This leads us to great challenges and opportunities, but time will be of the essence. It is imperative that the Québec creative industries take a proactive role in this transformation, ensuring that the future of entertainment is defined by our local creators. "

Brigitte Monneau
SYNTHÈSE – Pôle Image Québec
General director
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." AI is shaking the ground beneath the entertainment industry's feet: professions and business models are evolving, the world of education must adapt, and the research community must get closer to companies. A permanent dialogue between all these actors and the development of collaborations will be key to the success of this profound transformation.

Catherine Lareau

"AI is an ultra powerful tool, which today everyone uses in their own way according to their needs and abilities. The E-AI community will allow us to be inspired by it, to extend our uses of it and to demystify its infinite potential in the entertainment industry."

Céline Payelle

VP Marketing and Development
"The wealth of a community stems from its connections and its intersections. This wealth is only fully realized when the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. The entertainment industry is capable of empowering AI research to allow for a better implementation, understanding, and social acceptability of these advanced technologies.
"

David Usher
