Artificial intelligence, algorithm-driven platforms, and generative media are reshaping the production, circulation, and reception of moving images, while opening up new areas of inquiry in film and media, education, cultural studies, and the visual arts. In response to the creative opportunities and ethical challenges arising from technological transformation, audiovisual culture studies must foster interdisciplinary dialogue among aesthetic experience, social life, and intelligent technologies.
