MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – Tech Beach Retreat hosted an AI film festival, featuring an AI robot avatar, during the recent staging of the regional technology event in Jamaica.

Presented by Moonmax, the festival celebrated the fusion of artificial intelligence and creativity, showcasing how technology is revolutionising the film industry.

The evening highlighted a series of AI-driven films that illustrated the potential of technology to push the boundaries of storytelling in film.
