About
The AI for Creative Visual Content Generation, Editing and Understanding (CVEU) returns for its 8th edition with three sessions: a course, an AIGC focused BoF and an Art Tech focused BoF that together explore the evolving dialogue between machine intelligence and human creativity. Evolving from its successful editions at SIGGRAPH'25, CVPR'25, CVPR'24, ICCV'23, ECCV'22, ICCV'21, a Generative Models Course at SIGGRAPH'24, 2023 Paris ShortFest AI Film Festival, and 2025 Hong Kong HKUST AI Film Festival. CVEU has become a platform where art, research, and technology meet.
With over 3,000 participants worldwide, CVEU continues to foster a vibrant global community of artists, researchers, curators, and technologists. The Course "Generative Models for Visual Content Editing and Creation" uses an "Explain, Show and Do" approach to help creators and developers master AI tools for storyboarding and pre-visualization while maintaining creative control.
The AIGC Birds of a Feather and Art Tech Birds of a Feather investigate how machines signal intent and legibility, how authorship and agency are co-negotiated in human–machine creation, and how ethics and audience care inform the curation and presentation of AI-driven art.
