Dit zijn de genomineerden voor de AI-prijzen Aaron Awards

In de vakjury zitten ook Nederlanders, waaronder Wesley ter Haar (Monks) en Rogier Vijverberg (Superheroes). Ergens in april vindt een digitale awardshow plaats om de winnaars bekend te maken. De Aaron Awards werden in december aangekondigd om échte AI-makers in het zonnetje te zetten, gaven de initiatiefnemers aan. Zij stellen dat bestaande awards zich 'vaak richten op short-form films, experimenten of algemene content. En hoewel grote reclameprijzen AI-subcategorieën toevoegen, blijven die vooral gericht op grote bureaus — niet voor de snelgroeiende groep AI-native creators, solo-makers en AI-first studios die juist het meest baanbrekende werk leveren'. Voor die doelgroep is de Aaron Awards dus bedoeld - vernoemd naar de eerste AI-kunstenaar, ontwikkeld door Harold Cohen.
