Dr Shweta Kishore
Dr Shweta Kishore is an Affiliate of the the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S) from RMIT University.
Shweta is a Senior Lecturer in Screen and Media at RMIT University. Her research lies at the intersection of ethics, technologies, and creative industries. Shweta’s current research investigates how Australian documentary filmmakers are responding to Generative AI across creative practice, ethics and aesthetics. Drawing on semiotic and ethnographic methods, the project examines the cultural attitudes shaping AI adoption in video production and the role these attitudes play in forming emerging ethical frameworks and industry norms.
Her work on documentary film culture and ethics has appeared in Third Text, Bioscope, Camera Obscura, Feminist Media Studies, Studies in Documentary Film and Senses of Cinema. Her books include Resistance in Aesthetics and Practice in Indian Documentary Film (co-edited, 2024) and Indian Documentary Film and Filmmakers: Independence in Practice (2018). Both were published by Edinburgh University Press. Shweta currently co-leads Re-vision Ethical Futures Moving Image Network at RMIT University.
