About Us

Meet AIMICI

We’re the world’s leading responsible AI governance organisation for the screen industry.

As AI continues to reshape how film, TV and content get made, we help creative businesses navigate it with confidence: equipping teams with the right knowledge, bringing trusted expertise when they need it, and setting clear standards for what responsible AI looks like.

Our work is powered by people, passion and partnerships. In the last year, we released the industry’s first Responsible AI Competency training, in partnership with Screenskills & Pact, and received coverage from Broadcast, Televisual, and many others. 

Today we continue to educate the industry as part of our mission, alongside driving the implementation of further responsible AI standards. This includes an emerging standard for transparency and disclosure of AI usage in productions.

We believe that the best people to decide how AI is used in the film & TV industry are those who live, breathe and work in production.

We’ve created an innovation network to bring together veterans of filmmaking with AI toolmakers, academia and legal professionals – to collaborate on how to safely and usefully integrate AI into the industry.

Together, we are tackling Responsible AI standards for creative productions, including but not limited to;

  • AI competency & training standards for creative productions
  • AI usage transparency standards for creative productions
  • Certification of responsible AI use in creative productions

United in Our Values

PASSION

We’re passionate about the power of people & creativity – we want to enable anyone & everyone to create, live and prosper. And guess what? we believe the best people to figure out how to use AI creatively is creative people. By sharing our ambitions, knowledge & technologies, we know everyone can be greater than the sum of their (p)arts.

PRAGMATISM

We’re pragmatic about the value of technology – We thoughtfully apply the right technology to the right areas – no more, no less. As techies, we know AI techniques are not a solve-all, and they’re not the evil by default. They can be used in a responsible, ethical way and we want to democratise that power so that everyone can experience the benefits every day.

ENERGY

We’re too excited about opportunities to sit still. We’re optimistically proactive – staying relentlessly curious & informed, always seeking opportunities for positive change. We’re biased towards action.

INTEGRITY

We always keep our word. We lead with integrity & transparency in every part of what we do; from our work, to our merch, to our coffee cups.

INDEPENDENCE

We believe that the magic happens when highly driven people have enough money to be dangerous and no-one to answer to. We love the entrepreneurial spirit and want to help it grow across creative, tech and beyond.
