The first research question of this dissertation is: Can AI generate scripts without reproducing biases and stereotypes? To answer this question I will analyze three films whose scripts were generated by AI. The second research question deals with media education, and is therefore: Should media education tackle AI-generated films? This will be answered following a specific path: first analyzing how media education has previously addressed film and AI, then reflecting on the ways AI-generated films could be integrated in the field and how media educators should adapt the it to the changes posed by the use of GenAI in film production. Finally, I will discuss how media education can help in tackling the concern of potential AI bias in film.

The theoretical section defines memes and describes their characteristics, as well as the cultures of convergence, participation, sharing, and remix in which they circulate. The section also highlights the political dimension of memes, reviews two models for meme analysis, and outlines the competencies identified in the CSEM framework. Based on this foundation, the thesis reviews existing meme-based educational activities in English- and French-speaking contexts and proposes new activities inspired by these practices that align with the CSEM competencies. The practical section presents a creative workshop designed for teenagers and informed by a preliminary questionnaire regarding their knowledge of memes. It describes and evaluates the workshop activities, reflecting on their effectiveness and potential improvements. The results demonstrate that memes can serve as valuable tools for developing media literacy competencies. However, the workshop could be conducted more times to address the issue more effectively.
