S1 Ep15: AI & The Writer's Strike + More AI News!
Introduction:
AI for Creatives is a podcast by Creatives for Creatives connecting art, innovation, and humanity.
Segment 1:
Kamilah and Nova share what they’ve been up to. Kamilah talks about how she’s been having conversations with founders and organizations in the social impact space. Nova talks about blockchain and other technologies empowering more people around the world. They talk about the future of work, and Nova talks about the many fractional roles. Nova talks about moving from one stint of speaking to another, working on the House of Nova, and her new fashion collection.
Segment 2:
Nova and Kamilah start to talk about the WGA writer’s strike and its conclusion. The deal was reached, but a lot of the why behind the strike had to do with AI. Nova talks about the pay discrepancy and how production increased while pay decreased – and generative AI would impact that going forward (which was an important issue to address). Kamilah commiserates with Nova about creatives working together with AI.
Segment 3:
Nova gets into how AI cannot hold a copyright – there’s still a need for human engagement and authorship. The technology still needs human involvement for training and maintenance. However, the use case of the WGA strike will have a wide impact that will be good for artists and creatives across multiple industries. Kamilah gets into how people still need to be in the driver’s seat and have choices about how AI interacts with them.
Segment 4:
Nova talks about using blockchain technology to protect your data. This leads to a conversation about updates regarding AI from the big technology players and platforms. This includes Google, Microsoft, Amazon, TikTok, and more – introducing us all to AI and making use of generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Kamilah starts talking about YouTube starting to use AI now. She goes on to talk about how these companies are moving away from 3rd party to in-house AI tools. Nova picks up further on this. Nova goes on to talk about Dream Screen, YouTube Create, and AI Insights.
Segment 5:
Nova goes on to talk about how this helps decentralize matters. Nova then goes into ChatGPT (and references a prior episode about ChatGPT). She starts a conversation about AI and working with senses – and how ChatGPT can now see, hear, and speak. Kamilah talks about some useful applications of this tech. Nova brings up the “more spicy” Amazon Alexa with a bigger, more opinionated personality, and the ability to detect body language and eye gestures. This will involve new camera tech on current and future devices. Nova believes this is the first step towards an actual robot in the home.
Segment 6:
Nova talks about MS Office tools vs. Google Docs and Sheets – and how both will be impacted by new laptops and tablets being embedded with Generative AI tools to work with them. Kamilah agrees that this will be a game-changer. Kamilah gets into how customizations with Generative AI will change the conversation. But will people be aware of technology and why it’s doing it? Nova opines on this and how trusted platforms will roll the new tech out.
Conclusion:
Everyone will be using these new AI integrations because they will now be “baked in.” But it’s all happening far faster than most people thought it would – the future is now. This is why this podcast has been created.
