FROM PROMPT TO PROTOCOL: THE MAKING OF DOX:AI

15:00 - 16:30 Tirsdag 17. marts 2026 / 90 min

What would an AI built by and for documentary filmmakers actually look like? What values should guide it? What should it refuse to do?

Join us for a 90-minute workshop to surface the answers to these questions and chart next steps with leading voices from documentary and AI development. This is the seed of something larger, a continuing experiment in community-owned AI.

DOX:AI is a speculative design process running throughout CPH:DOX 2026 – an experiment inviting festival participants to shape AI architectures grounded in the values, questions, and needs of our community. You can already join in the making of DOX:AI onhttps://doxai.atmospheric-ai.net or stop by the interactive station at Charlottenborg. This is the seed of something larger, a continuing experiment in community-owned AI.

Facilitated by: Atmospheric Intelligences Initiative and Doc Society (Diego Galafassi, Sandra Whipham)

Supported by: Doc Society, Hum Studio Interactive, CPH:DOX

Disclaimer: This process is conducted as non-profit research by the Atmospheric Intelligences Initiative and Doc Society – by and for the documentary community. All contributions are anonymous and community-owned. No data will be used for commercial purposes. During the DOX:AI workshop we will collectively discuss the stewardship and governance of this process going forward.
