Artificial Intelligence in Creative Production


During my undergraduate studies, I dedicated much of my time to understanding artificial intelligence, focusing not just on how to use it, but how to apply it ethically and help others do the same. As a Research Assistant at Baylor University’s Innovation Collaborative, I explored AI’s role in individualized education, gaining hands-on experience with prompt engineering, model training, and the ethical considerations surrounding emerging technology. I believe that as AI becomes more powerful, it’s crucial for creatives to approach it thoughtfully, ensuring that human intention and storytelling remain at the forefront.

Building on that foundation, I’m currently working with Runway’s generative AI video tools through a specialized AI course at NYU Tisch’s Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center. This experience has allowed me to integrate AI into filmmaking workflows—from concept development to previsualization and final delivery—while staying mindful of its impact on the creative process. For me, AI is a tool to enhance collaboration, spark ideas, and streamline production, but always with a focus on using it responsibly and preserving the human touch that makes stories resonate.

“robo-coff” was created for an in-class assignment in my specialized AI course at NYU. The idea sparked during my senior year at Baylor University, when I wandered through the SXSW expo floor and saw countless startups blending AI with food and beverage. It got me thinking—what if your coffee cup could walk to you on its own? In this story, customers (whether people...or animals) place an order through an app, and a little coffee cup with legs strolls over to deliver it. Once finished, the cup walks itself back to its station, ready for the next order. No dishes, no hassle. I wanted to capture a few playful moments from this process, including the scene that started it all. All images were generated using Runway Gen-3 Alpha
