Red, Yellow, Green: A Framework for AI in the Creative Classroom

How do you balance academic integrity with necessary innovation? In this episode, Michael and Ryan sit down with Chris Sheridan (Documentary Film Program) and William Cochran (Computer Science) from Wake Forest University. The group discusses their unique cross-departmental collaboration and the “Stoplight Approach” to AI assignments—defining when AI use is a “Go,” when to proceed with caution, and when to stop. Tune in for a fascinating conversation on AI literacy, the “unwritten contract” between filmmakers and audiences, and the rise of “AI slop.”
