My Grandma Can't Get Automated : Story Telling Using AI
What this project is really about
My Grandma Can't Get Automated : Story Telling Using AI invites students in grades 9–12 to explore one of the most urgent creative questions of current times: can artificial intelligence (AI) truly tell a human story? Inspired by the participatory storytelling model, students will interview a grandparent, elder, neighbour, or loved one and capture their experiences, memories, and views in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Using AI as a creative collaborator, they will shape that conversation into a 2–3 minute documentary film under the theme "My Grandma Can't Get Automated." The most compelling films will be considered for community screenings and may be featured in an upcoming documentary by filmmaker and digital storytelling pioneer Siok Siok Tan.
