From Concept to Video: an End-to-End AI-Assisted Approach for Storytelling

The controversy surrounding gene-edited babies and the emergence of AI-generated gene sequences has brought about growing ethical and ecological concerns about genetic engineering. These developments challenge humanity's role as creator and highlight the risks associated with biotechnological advances. Against this backdrop, this work presents a speculative vision of the future on an island, where genetic warfare and ecological transformation have shaped the landscape. Drawing on post-anthropocentric and ecological resilience theories, the narrative centers on how non-human life adapts, evolves, and interacts beyond human control. Using AIGC tools for creative production, the work explores new possibilities enabled by AIGC technologies and integrates visual storytelling, generative imagery, and short video production to examine the potential and limitations of algorithmic worldbuilding. The final output is an AI short video that visualizes the complex relationship between biotechnology, conflict, and ecological evolution, encouraging reflection on the ethical boundaries of genetic engineering and the impact of design and AI on future narratives.
