Noon – 12:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

Architects of AI and Entertainment: VFX/CGI – XR – AR – Film & Branding to Live Events

AI has been an evolving resource for Hollywood creatives for the past twenty years, going all the way back to “Jurassic Park” and “T2: Judgment Day.” You might call it a “Superpower.” AI in the hands of the “Architects of Hollywood” has been like giving a magic wand to a magician. From Feature Films, Live Experiences, Games and Advertising, the power to imagine has just been expanded exponentially. And an almost equal power has been given to the desktops of millions of the next generation of “Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineers” working at home worldwide.
 

Session II:

Fashion Forward: The Immersive and Beautiful Internet Experience

The fashion and beauty retail experience is changing and the change is emerging before our eyes. Beautiful design is not new, but the “Immersive Experience,” of beautiful design on all platforms for the consumer, the impact of AI on real-time presentation and customer service as a high-end experience, from in-person to smartphone is incrementally being revolutionized. The pleasure and detail of the “In-Store High-End Customer Experience,” in the very near-future will be replicated and transformed as a mass culture “Digital Experience” online. We are pleased to share the concepts and vision of the transformation here, on this panel today.

Session III:

Generative AI and Cinematic Hollywood: The Transformation of the Media Industry

While full AI video production hasn’t quite arrived, each week it seems that OpenAI debuts another generation of Sora and Pika one ups them with Audio software to lip-synch with the new video clips and another billion dollar investment is announced for a Virtual Humanoid company. And that was all in a three day stretch in March of 2024. And that’s not counting the Pro AI Music Generators from Google, Adobe and Meta and to paraphrase Stability AI’s CEO, “Emad Mostaque, "It has become possible to imagine an AI-generated new season of "Game of Thrones.” It with that thought in mind that we address the future of AI and Hollywood with our esteemed panel.

1 PM – 1:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

As Johnny Rotten Might Say: AI Music – Bollocks Sí or Bollocks No? 

Some say, AI is different. This technology may be black magic and maybe they’re right. But what about Sampling and Looping, Sequencers, Drum Machines and Beat Makers, Software synths and the Moog. How about the first time you became aware of the Wah Wah pedal? Does the music of Hendrix, Clapton or Zappa come to mind? The magical world of “Music and Technology” has enabled and enhanced the greatest of our popular musicians and producers for more than half a century. What is the role of the “Recorder Producer?” What about “The Wall of Sound?” What are the Beatles without George Martin, the master of “Audio Wizardry!” What would Johnny Rotten say about “Music and AI.” Let’s discuss.

Session II:

Gen AI Cinema & Hollywood Video: A Director, Producer & Critic’s Roundtable

The entertainment industry has a new category of film to discuss and analyze, one that did not exist prior to 2023. It is almost remarkable that “Generative AI Cinema” is now a category of “Creativity” that we must begin to take seriously. All through the year 2022 AI Image Generators began to improve and in 2023 the images began to move. It would make Thomas Edison and Auguste and Louis Lumière proud. And the practitioners of “Gen AI Cinema,” the directors and technologists, today’s AI storytellers are creating amazing short films and video experiments. Our roundtable today will bring together a group of “Creatives” that are breaking the ground for what will surely be the “Hollywood of the 21^st Century.”

Session III:

The High Profile AI Start-up – Searching for Unicorns 

The names of the “High-Flying” AI Start-ups are now nearly as well-known as Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon. There’s OpenAI, Anthropic, Inflection AI, Cohere, Mistral AI, Hugging Face, Scale AI and Databricks to name a few. And all of these AI names are valued in the Billions. And that doesn’t count the fifty other companies whose AI products we are now all using and purchasing. What does this mean for the future of tech investments, the coming IPOs and tech valuations in general. Is AI leading a boom in the technology marketplace, the economy as a whole. How many will be busts? What do all these potential “Unicorns” mean?

an?

Session IV:

The Complexity of AI & Art – Imagination of the Human + Machine:  Cinematic Arts - Media Arts - Fashion Design

What does it mean when an artificial intelligence can dream? What does it mean to create art fabricated by neural networks rather than solely human hands and hearts. What does our future hold? Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, is a magnificent and devastating portrait of grandeur and privilege of Europe of the 1700s and in equal measure, we can look to the magnificent treasure of Antoni Gaudi’s architecture of Barcelona, and both might be thought of as progenitors of the AI Art we aspire to today. While Generative AI art is like opening a door to a limitless supply of “Digital Art,” this new world of art by “Human and Machine” will be no less distinct and intriguing than any era of art which has come before.

2 PM – 2:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

The Digital Brand & Advertising Experience: AI + 3D + XR + Holography + Metaverse

The combination of visual and electronic platforms and digital creativity have completely transformed the role of global brands in public consciousness. Or perhaps it’s the other way around; global brands have exposed technology and creativity to the world. Either way, between AI, 3D, XR and Spatial Realities, a universe of magical experiences and creative environments are capturing the imagination of 100s of Millions of viewers on mobile, video as well as experiential platforms.  We are reaching a next level; we may be breaking the “Creative Sound Barrier.”

Session II:

AI and Identity Theft - A Taylor Swift Law – The Deep Fake Dilemma

“Deep Fakes” are not only a theft of property rights and a concern of Musicians and Hollywood personalities, bad-actors are scheming new, inventive and technologically bizarre ways to invade our privacy, our computer data and ultimately our electronic wallets. This is not a false alarm. While a “Taylor Swift Law” is needed to protect the personage of a pop star, it may be even more important to secure the personal electronic rights of everyday citizens. Recently in Hong Kong, a “Deep Fake” scheme successfully defrauded an investment company of $25 Million in a fraudulent Zoom call with visual impersonators representing colleagues. That Zoom call might have been you and a “Deep Faked” family member. 

Session III:

Cinematic AI: A World of Tools and Technology

The operative word is “Creativity!” While AI may provide amazing tools to enhance, expand, accelerate and even, to use a troublesome notion, to “Synthesize” the creative process, at its core, Cinematic AI is about “Storytelling,” and at least for the moment, the human touch is very much “At the Controls” of assembling an artistic cinematic vision. While the creation of some musical tasks and even individual images can approach human level creativity, for the moment, “Storytelling” is a bit more complex. In this session, we will hear from creators and technologists who are at the forefront in the application of “Cinematic AI Tools.”

Session IV:

The AI Start-Up Dream Team: Strategies for Success: Unique Founders, PhDs, Genius Advisors, Venture Board

What are the difference makers. Where are the forks in the road, the decisive decisions taken by the ultimate winners and the 80% of start-ups who drift off and ultimately fade away. Facebook was not the first, but was by far the greatest of the Social Networks to enter the fray. Since all serious start-ups have brilliant and determined founders, wise and experienced advisors and investors, what separates that one shooting star from the group? Sometimes changing the world begins at a corner store serving a niche market in the community, like being a quality bookstore in a mall of Superstores or a seaside shack serving an upscale boating community and the opportunity reveals itself. But often, targeting a narrow domain, an underserved market, a foundational technology serving a unique need will provide the pathway to success.

3 PM – 3:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

Hollywood VFX Pros Discuss Virtual Humans & GenAI: Feature Film Perfection, Actor Longevity, Deep Fakes, & Impact of Generative AI

How good is the current state of Generative AI? Let’s hear first-hand from an All-Star Team of Hollywood VFX professionals. Hollywood has been using AI in film and video production for any number of years, but now the “Next Generation of GenAI” has arrived and it’s all over YouTube and Social Media. There are Virtual Human Influencers, Models, even Virtual Girlfriends. And what do they see coming down the road, in 2025 and 2026? And how will Generative AI be merged with the most powerful software in the VFX toolbox? This roundtable should be fun.

Session II:

The Digital Brand & Advertising Experience, Part II: AI + 3D + XR + Holography + Metaverse

The combination of visual and electronic platforms and digital creativity have completely transformed the role of global brands in public consciousness. Or perhaps it’s the other way around; global brands have exposed technology and creativity to the world. Either way, between AI, 3D, XR and Spatial Realities, a universe of magical experiences and creative environments are capturing the imagination of 100s of Millions of viewers on mobile, video as well as experiential platforms. We are reaching a next level; we may be breaking the “Creative Sound Barrier.”

Session III:

The Art of the “Sphere:” An Exposition of Vision & Experience - A Discussion of Immense Creativity

The designers of “The Sphere” have produced an “Immersive Experience” that is at once magical and thrilling. Audience members announce their plans to attend, post photos of the “Sphere” upon arrival and gush about the experience in long posts on “Social Media.” Is there any “Entertainment Experience” in our lifetime to compare? In concert with The Stones or Taylor Swift? Perhaps better if The Stones or Taylor booked into the “Sphere.” The Sphere has splurged $2.3B on special cameras and 164,000 isolated speakers to create this incredible display and that doesn’t count the “Exosphere,” the video-powered shell that is now an “Iconic Las Vegas Landmark.” In this session we will discuss the amazing “Sphere.”

Session IV:

Predictive Hollywood Analytics and Strategy: The Barbi vs. Oppenheimer Predictive Data Breakdown

William Goldman famously stated, “Nobody knows anything,” in describing the unpredictability and decision making in the film industry. Despite this assertion, a “Predictive Analytics” industry has emerged that underpins much of Hollywood decision making today. AI analytics are employed in script development, including character and thematic choices, deep dives into casting as well as audience preferences underpinning each option. While it is hard to say if the AI process was at the core of the massive success of “Barbi” or the award winning “Oppenheimer,” a breakdown of that development and production process would certainly make for an interesting discussion.

4 PM – 4:40 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

The Best in Virtual Humans and Synths: Influencers, Performers & Companions

Call them Synths; call them Virtual Human Celebrities, influencers and performers going by names such as Audrey Hepburn Digital or AI J.Lo in an ad campaign to fully virtual stars Lil Miquela, Lu do Magalu, Barbi, Guggimon, Any Malu or Milla Sofia. According to her Instagram account, Lil Miquela is a half-Spanish, half-Brazilian 19 year old Robot living in LA with 2.6m followers. Lu do Magalu, another Brazilian influencer has 6.8M followers. She is used by Brazilian retailer, “Magazine Luiza” for various campaigns and has partnered with big brands, including Adidas, McDonald's and Red Bull. There are AI Internet Girlfriend platforms named Replika, Candy AI and DreamGF and Virtual Singers and Performers are in the pipeline with the backing of major organizations. What are we to make of this phenomenon? “Barbi” afterall started out as a “Children’s Doll” over a half century ago and now as a “Movie Star” and “Virtual Human” has become a “Global Phenomenon.” With that in mind, perhaps the “Cultural Narrative” of “Synths” and “Virtual Humans as Celebrities” has yet to be decided.

Session II:

AI Music Monetization: DeepMind’s Dreamtrack, The Grimes AI  Strategy: Let’s Go 50-50%

There’s no way to slow down the explosion of AI created music. It’s here, it’s now and everyone, young and old have become AI Sound Engineers by the hundreds of thousands.  So as the ocean of new music arrives, the idea of “AI Music & Monetization” has now become front and center. For example, Google’s DeepMind recently unveiled DreamTrack, an AI system allowing customizable music generation via text prompts. Their partnership with the music label EMI hints at future platforms streamlining rights-cleared AI music tailored to user taste. Such tools could enable independent musicians, creative agencies, and brands to license bespoke soundtracks on-demand. Along the same lines, the famous musician Grimes is exploring equally disruptive models, granting fans collective ownership in her AI-assisted compositions through NFTs and decentralization. It’s only the start, but with music AI software getting better and better, the market is ripe for legal monetization strategies to emerge.

Session III:

AI & the Creative Community – Representing the Interest of Actors - Writers - Producers - Guild Members

While the Hollywood strikes last year may now be old news, the concerns of the Guild membership, the writers and actors are far from settled. After all, creative concerns cannot always be resolved through arbitration and legal settlement. The underlying issues of Artificial Intelligence, from Deep Fakes, Virtual Humans and the ultimate ability of the AI to reason, think and author creative works is far from settled fact. Who among us can say what the future might hold. For those of you who have tried AI or perhaps have even become “Expert” in AI application, you are aware of the problems it may present. AI can as easily violate copyright of everything from image to story to voice as it can enhance the creativity of the most sophisticated artist. This our world to explore.

Session IV:

AI & the Design of Randomness: Unlocking the Inner Jackson Pollock

Our first thought was to call this panel, “AI: Inside the Black Box of the Imagination.” Artificial Intelligence, together with Machine Learning have opened the door to a relationship with a “Human Creator,” someone we might call an “Artist,” and the result is an exploration of the imagination that has never been seen before. The result is unique. Nevertheless, some critics, Jerry Saltz of New York Magazine’s Vulture among them, have articulated a clear disdain for this new and evolving art form. While others, the curators at MOMA in NYC to their credit, have honored AI’s best known artistic innovator, Rafik Anadol with a one-man show. Many have referred to AI Art as the “Design of Randomness,” referring to it’s kinship to Jackson Pollock. In this session we will explore some of those thoughts.

5:00 PM – 5:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

The Hollywood Trajectory: The Generative AI Video Timeline: 2023 – 2024 – 2025 – 2026

How fast will AI take over Hollywood? That’s the question. After YouTube; After VFX and the Nightmare of Sequels, After Netflix, Amazon and cord cutting; Remember, Napster Killed the Music Industry!! What’s next? Is AI the Machine that’s going to “Eat Hollywood.” We are already beginning to understand the impact of AI on Screenwriting, AI and Virtual Charters and AI’s impact on VFX. Video Editing is clearly in the eye of the AI storm and the role of extras not to mention complicated backgrounds that will magically appear through the power of AI. In this session, we will speculate on the impact of AI on Hollywood and try to understand the impact and growth of “The AI Blob.” How soon will entire movies, TV shows and Ads being fully produced by a giant AI. 2026? 2028? What will Hollywood look like in 2030?

Session II:

The Elvis Act: The Tennessee Deep Fake 2024 Law

Is this the first of many, a prelude to a “Federal Law” or an interesting step to secure the “Individual Rights in the face of Deep Fakes,” serving as a bellwether for future legislation, but ultimately not the final word on the subject. Tennessee’s “Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act” passed earlier by their state legislature this year and exclusively limited to Tennessee residents is directed specifically to the issues of “Deep Fakes” and to the protection of Recording Artists and others impacted by “Voice Cloning” and other AI technologies. In this session, our speakers will address the specifics of “The Elvis Act,” with the thought that this piece of legislation is likely a “Canary in a Coal Mine,” one of the first legislative steps that may indicate of how public and political sympathies could be harbingers of AI legislation and legal decisions coming in the future.

Session III:

The Prompt Engineer – Mastering the Art of Cinematic AI Design & Music Composition

Each of us has faced down the “Empty Prompt Bar” trying to communicate with the AI, hoping to tease out an unusual photographic image or develop a dramatic scene in a film script through a series of ping pong like prompts and replies, like personal letters to an unknown companion with the hope of reaching a higher state of consciousness. The role of “Prompt Master” represents a novel creative discipline, perhaps not an art form, but something approaching a digital choreographer. There must always be a goal, a cinematic visual experience, a classical musical score, perhaps a string quartet. The job requires that we constantly produce a quality result, but if we can engage with a brilliant “Co-Pilot,” the creative process may be that much more pleasurable. But learning to communicate with the “Unknown Creative Mind,” to speak to it in a private code that will produce a fully professional and even artistic experience. That may be the work of an artist, the work of the “Prompt Master.”

Session IV:

AI and Consumer Privacy & Safety: The Unrecognized Dangers in Everyday Technology

Not unlike the problematic impact of “Social Media,” plus powerful SmartPhones enabling negative echo chambers which enhance for many and especially among the young, personal depression, and even self-harm, AI with an entirely different set of psychological and technological tools, presents a host of new problems. While we are all quite aware of “Deep Fakes,” and how they can be used to invade privacy, innovative AI consumer technologies like “AI Sunglasses” with hidden audio and video recording capabilities, for a teen in a school or social setting may present privacy problems as well. AI carries a host of unfamiliar risks. Facial analysis tools are often less accurate than we had hoped. And chatbots, which our teens interact with as friends, can at times exhibit unusual behavior. As innovation continues accelerating, we must evaluate if convenience overrules emerging dangers.

Noon – 12:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

AI, Cinematic Artists and Virtual Production: The Future of Independent Cinema

Indie filmmakers always find a way. However, in a world of fractured attention focused on instant content and big tentpoles, it’s increasingly challenging for these artists and their films to find a way to break through. For rising filmmakers and production teams, AI and virtual production has changed the game: access to technology and equipment has never been broader. What once could only be made by a major studio with funding can now be done in one’s backyard. This has opened the door to amazing innovation and opportunities. Filmmakers today have an incredible arsenal of tools at their disposal to innovate in the space. In this roundtable, we welcome leaders in the space of Cinematic Film Production.

Session I:

AI the Controversy: Innovation & Transformation vs. Threat to the Future

The impact of AI on all industry sectors, from Entertainment and Communications to Law and Manufacturing is ongoing and clearly transformational. For those of you who have tried AI or perhaps have even become “Expert” in AI application, you are well aware of its significant impact and the problems it may present. While job loss may be balanced by new and creative industry innovation, there is no question that AI presents a future of ethical and technological unknowns and question marks.

Session III:

Is AI Music the Piracy Machine? As Brian May has Stated, “It’s Gonna Get Very Weird Very Quick”
Let's take an AI Music test. Google “Best in AI Music Deep Fakes” and you will be taken on an amazing tour of “Music Imposters,” including “Deep Fakes” of Britney Spears, Frank Sinatra singing obscene Rap Lyrics; the infamous Drake/The Weeknd, “Heart on My Sleeve” having become a massive hit in a few days and Freddie Mercury singing "All I Want for Christmas,” a “Perfect Clone” of a Queen performance. And the technology behind AI song generators are becoming dangerously professional. It’s no wonder that Brian May, Queen’s lead guitarist and song writer is quoted having said, “It’s Gonna Get Very Weird Very Quick.” Music is always the artform first impacted by the combination of technology and the Internet because it does not require extensive bandwidth. In this session we bring together some of the best in the music business.

Session IV:

Virtual Human Video: The Online Retail & Consumer Facing Experience: The Impact of Advanced Intelligence and Technology

The integration of advanced intelligence and technology into retail and consumer-facing experiences is revolutionizing the way we shop, interact with brands and their online support, and make purchasing decisions. As virtual humans and AI-powered systems become more sophisticated, they're transforming customer service, product recommendations, and even in-store navigation. This panel will explore the current state of the art in virtual human technology and its impact on the retail and complex online interaction, as well as examine future trends and challenges in this rapidly evolving field.

1 PM – 1:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

AI Music and Creatives: A Relationship of Abundance and Trepidation

For the musician, solo artist, producer or A&R executive, the arrival in all its glory of “AI technology” is akin to the second coming of Napster. Napster arrived in 1999 and within a year or so effectively wiped out the “Record Industry” as it was then fashioned. And it has taken a couple of generations of musicians and technology to assemble a new and “more or less” thriving industry. Today, there is a massive listening audience, well designed and music friendly internet and mobile platforms, year-round and flourishing “Live Performance” opportunities and tons of “Merch.” And into this mix has arrived AI, the technology “Superpower” that makes “Synths” and "Drum Kits” look primitive. In this roundtable of “Creatives” we will explore our hesitancy to embrace AI, come clean in discussing the obvious dangers of copyright and “Deep Fake” while also grappling with the “Power of AI” as a “Creativity Tool.”

Session II:

Monetizing Immersive Hollywood, Music & Sports = AI + XR + Live Events + Metaverse

Global brands, social engagement, live events, immersive experiences, cross platform strategies; this is the electronic frontier of the future, where growth and commerce converge. It’s hard not to get excited by the next generation of platform and technological convergence. In this session we will analyze the landscape and attempt to define the ground rules. Enhanced brand loyalty, content innovation and better product are prerequisites for “Monetizing the Consumer Relationship.” The super competitive film/video, sports, Web3, and social media markets are in play 24/7. And it’s about execution & innovation of live events, the cinematic or video experience and the AI and XR investment that matters. But finally, it’s creativity, the “It Factor” which makes the difference.

Session III:

Designing the Digital Fashion & Beauty Retail Experience: Social Media, AI/XR & Internet

The world of Fashion and Beauty will be first among the global brands to embrace technology, applying it into their dramatic “Live Runway Experiences,” transforming showrooms into XR media experiences, creating sensational social media campaigns that will “Break the Net.” It’s only a matter of time before a “Virtual Human Fashion Queen” becomes a “Global Celebrity,” and that “Global Sensation” will perform and dominate on every platform, including “The Runway,” when magically the “Digital will be Transformed” into “The Living.” The “Retail Experience” will live on every platform; website and Apps, in Live Retail as well as “Brand in Travel” and the idea of “Brand as Art” may well turn out to more powerful in eyes of the public than any other of the brand experiences.

Session IV:

The AI Breakthrough: Establishing a New Art Form - Algorithmic, Poetic Computation and Digital Art

What does it mean for art when creativity intersects unbounded computation? New frontiers emerge. As algorithms dance with imagination, revolutionary artifacts are the result. We witness math-derived beauty, code-constructed consciousness, silicon muses. The origins of these ideas trace to pioneers like John Whitney animating to electronic beats in 1960s Los Angeles or Frieder Nake algorithmically auto-drawing alongside Andy Warhol's Pop Art ascent. And today, we must look to and thank Zach Lieberman of MIT, for his seminal contribution to the field of algorithmic, poetic computation, and digital experiences. Today, there are an unlimited number of artists and adventurers experimenting in algorithmic and poetic computation. In this session we honor this magnificent tradition.

2 PM – 2:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

AI & The Hollywood Writer: Man-Made/Machine Made - Screenwriter vs. The Machine

Let’s see what the expert say. In this session of professional Hollywood screenwriters, we will breakdown the AI Screenwriting process. Our experts, all of whom are familiar with the best in AI Writing software, so that hopefully, will guarantee that the machine-made will be given a fighting chance. Compare and contrast. Let’s start out with a concept, “Create a Series of Prompts.” The AI is generally helpful in “Creating a first page, first breakdown of characters, first explanation of the arc. But what comes next? Can our experts “Prompt” the AI to approach the idea of “Storytelling?” What about “Human Emotion.” Is the professional writer wasting time “Prompting Deep Thoughts” with a robot with limited imagination. Perhaps not. Perhaps the AI is stimulating our “Writer’s Roundtable.” What is the state of the art in “Professional” AI screenwriting.

Session II:

Digital & AI Fashion and Beauty: The Designer + Virtual Humans + The Runway + Retail Experience

The fashion industry, which has always been a global and cultural trend setter, today with the explosive power and merger of the "AI, Design and Media Technologies," a fashion brand can dominate simultaneously “IRL" (In Real Life) and equally on “Social Media” as a form of entertainment. The Fashion Industry, uniquely among the creative arts, can innovate “Style, Personality and Identity” in AI and Spatial Environments like no others. In time, fashion brands may even establish “Virtual and Iconic Models & Avatars” and establish them as “Global Icons” and those future “Virtual Humans” might also perform as Musical Celebrities or “Reside in their own Metaverse.” The future of the AI Fashion will be nothing short of “Intriguing.”

Session III:

Virtual Humans & AI: Advanced Design + Intelligence = Unique Levels of Complexity

In this session we will address the Intelligence and Design functions in the development of Virtual Humans. While other panels will focus on “Virtual Humans as Performers and Internet Personalities,” in this session we will explore the more profound issues of “Computer Intelligence” and “The Machine’s” ability to mimic human emotion and personality, verbal and vocal expression and respond in conversational interaction. Once a “Virtual Human” becomes “Conversant” as a mature human might, the role of this technology will quickly find a way into our daily life, from Virtual Human Co-Pilot as Educator, Colleague at work to companion in research and creative endeavors. The possibilities are quite frankly, limitless.

Session IV:

The AI Pro-Audio Studio: Toolsets for Professional Producer and Musician

Just like walking into a Recording studio, the Pro-AI Producer knows exactly how to match-up the right tools with the right task. And let’s appropriately name our AI Musical Toolset after one of the greats, the “Abbey Road AI,” or the “QuincyAI,” the “RickRubot,"or "PharrellAI." Here is a breakdown of our AI Pro-Audio Studio: Into the Check-out Cart: (1) Best in AI-Assisted Original Melodies: Mubert, Soundful, Aiva, Boomy, and Beatoven; (2) For the Best in AI-Assisted Synths: Guk.AI's Sistema 2, for crafting unique soundscapes; SynthGPT, AI-driven text-prompt-based sound engine and Synthesizer V Studio Pro, with AI-powered advanced vocal synthesis capabilities. (3) For Best in Drum Machine: AIVA, Boomy, and Amper Music and for advanced “Neural Drum Machines Companies” Let’s check out Fugue Machine, XO, Microtonic, and Nerve. For Best in Vocal Isolation: VocalRemover.org; Deepgram's Kits AI and PhonicMind: For Best in Organic Reverb: AIVA, Amper Music, and Sonible Smart:Reverb; For the Best in AI Mastering Suite: LANDR; eMastered;  Sonible smart:master; Amuse Mastering

3 PM – 3:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

Digital Design, Branding, Fashion & Retail: The Innovation Experience

Design and fashion have forever defined the cutting edge of cultural innovation and now with the explosion of “Digital Platforms” and consumer demand, the “World of Retail” has finally merged with “The Innovation Experience.” Every major brand and retailer is adapting to the reality of “Consumer Engagement + Immersive Technologies = The Retail Transformation.” From the multi-faceted ad campaigns to the online retail, including the In-Store experience, it’s a holistic strategy of design, technology, and engagement. In this session, we welcome the industry leaders.

Session II:

The Humanoid Robot: The Physical AI Thinking Machine – A Consumer Device is Coming . . .

In this session, we will see “Demos” from the “Best in Humanoid Robot AIs.” With this demo, the future will have finally arrived as we explore consumer facing Humanoid Robotic advancement. Elon Musk has speculated that the Tesla Bot, known as Optimus, will ultimately have greater consumer potential than the Tesla, suggesting that every home will need one or two "Humanoids," for cooking, cleaning and puttering around the house. While that may be an exaggeration, much as Herbert Hoover’s “Chicken in Every Pot,” foreshadowed the “Great Depression,” the Demos that we will see during this session may well convert attendees into "AI Humanoid Robotic" true believers. Visit the websites of Figure.ai; Sanctuary AI; Tesla Omtimus; Boston Dynamics; Ubtech and Berkeley Labs and check out the state of the art. In this session, we hope to visit and get up close and personal with “Physical AI Thinking Machines.”

Session III:

AI Art, Design and Language: A Vocabulary of Syntax and Exactitude

The partnership between the designer or artist and the AI has a goal, to convert the concept into something real, from the blank page to the design, from the imagination to the architectural structure. To successfully navigate with an Artificial Intelligence, a machine, the artist must develop a vocabulary of subtlety. The artist is inventing a new language of art and design, a vocabulary suited to the “Machine” of “Syntax and Exactitude.” Well-known Italian architect and computational designer, Arturo Tedeschi has often described his process using this descriptive language. In this session, we will explore the techniques and imagery that Tedeschi speaks of.

Session IV:

The State of Generative AI Law: The Precedents – The Cases Currently in Progress

The illustrious history of copyright infringement lawsuits are filled with fascinating results. Most recently, the Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol infringed on photographer Lynn Goldsmith's copyright when he created a series of his famous silk screen images based on a photograph Goldsmith shot of the late musician Prince in 1981. So it is with great interest that the “AI Training Data” lawsuits make their way through the courts, The NY Times vs. OpenAI and Microsoft; Getty Images against Stability AI; a Class Action lawsuit filed against Stability AI, Midjourney and DeviantArt; a Programmers’ Class Action against Github among others. In this session, discuss status of “Copyright Law.”

4 PM – 4:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

AI & Magnificent Fashion & Beauty: An Exploration of the Imagination – Retail, Runway, Advertising and Virtual Human

“Fashion and Beauty Design” is always on the cutting edge of cultural identity and with the addition of AI tools, the level of innovation has exploded. In this session, we will further explore those levels of innovation, in imagery ranging from “Couture, Runway and Indie Collections” to advertising, retail experience, social media campaign, out-of-home campaigns as well as nationwide TV. Art and design are at the core of the fashion and beauty product as well as through its creative brand and advertising strategies and in this panel we hope to get first-hand insight from the creators themselves.

Session II:

The Legal Implications of Chatbots & Virtual Human Discussion

As chatbots and virtual humans become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, a complex web of legal implications arise. In this session, we will explore the legal considerations surrounding the development, deployment, and interaction with these AI-powered entities. Our panel will delve into topics such as data privacy, intellectual property, liability for AI-generated content, and the ethical consequences of human-AI interaction. While our current legal landscape may be more focused on customer service and retail advice, the future of human to virtual human interaction suggests an increasingly complex world of personal dependance, relationship in the form of AI girl and boyfriends, personal healthcare advice beyond “WebMD” and Virtual Humans providing psychological care. In time, complex Virtual Human services will be commonplace, and its legal implications will be exceedingly interesting.

Session III:

Revolutionary Virtual Production: AI & Computer Vision in Modern Filmmaking

It’s almost impossible to exaggerate how much has changed in the past five or six years in the world of visual creativity and film production. What started out as an already impressive world of “Green Screens” and CGI has emerged as a universe of Gen AI video, prompted 3D images and full audio tracks, plus a vast war-chest of pre-visualization tools, all placed in the hands of our greatest storytellers. The industry is revolutionizing before our eyes. Filmmakers are transforming the ideation process, a world of AI and Virtual Production and in a matter of days, weeks and months, bringing it to life as a fully realized feature films, TV shows, advertisements and YouTube videos. In this session, we examine the phenomenon.

Session IV:

Virtual Human Exploration: Nuance & Emotion • Vocal Expression • Facial Movements – Sentiment - Hyper-Realistic Synthesis of Prose

Can we as humans create emotional bonds with virtual or synthetic beings? That is a good question that we cannot answer, at least we have not experienced it quite yet. We have experienced it through movies such as “Her” and “Blade Runner.” And today we can experience conversational AI with Chat Bots, which are becoming more advanced in their ability to explore complex philosophical and emotional questions, which can be exceedingly helpful in academic, work related and even through creative composition. AI developers are not far away from not only imagining but creating the virtual human, in video form and soon, as a “Humanoid Robot.” It is about nuance and emotion, vocal expression and sentiment and synthesis of prose. Don’t be surprised when a door opens, and in it will be a brother from another planet.

5 PM – 5:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

AI-XR: The Spatial Experience - Exploring Next Level Human Interaction

While AI has become the convenient “Umbrella Concept” under which all other computer platforms can be best understood, with the release of Apple Vision Pro and Meta’s industry leading Quest 2, the conversation has centered around VR, Gaming and the latest buzzword, Spatial Computing. For industry cognoscente, the goal has always been “Immersion,” platform agnostic, mobile, computer, gaming, in any environment, on any device. Apple refers to its AVP introduction as “Spatial Computing” and the developers of XR, VR and AR experiences will likely be pleased to embrace this descriptive note. With the power of AI, advanced connectivity through “The Cloud” and with continued device innovation, we will all be pleased to welcome the “Era of Spatial Computing.”

Session II:

AI Produced Music Videos are Here - The AI Canary in the Coal Mine

Tech innovation concentrates first in the “Music Industry.” It is as simple as that. Generative AI is totally and fully capable of producing highly creative audio and short form cinematic video.  And it is simply not yet ready, to produce fully realized long form film and TV. Thus, on this panel we will focus on the creation of “AI Empowered Music Videos” that are innovative, inspired and nothing short of spectacular. We will discuss production techniques and demo some of the best yet produced. In the 1980s, after MTV kicked off the “Music Video Revolution” with "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles and DEVO's great music video, "Whip It," the world was never quite the same. The same will likely be said of the AI Empowered Music Videos of 2024. The world will never quite be the same again!

Session III:

AI, Video, 3D Images, Photography and Computer Vision - The Revolutionary Technology 

It would hardly be a leap to refer to the new “AI Video and Image Creators, Enhancers and Upscalers” as revolutionary. From the manipulation of images to the prompting of visuals, the creative artist has never experienced this level of innovation. In this session, we bring together “Visual Artists” to discuss their experiences in applying these new technologies. And the toolbox of creative options, and the power of these new applications grows and become more powerful by the week. Even for creative professionals using traditional tools such as Photoshop, there are new AI based programs that “Upscale” images to create fully unique and new visual experiences, that must be integrated into the creative process. Today’s revolutionary “AI Computer Vision” technology has made what we might call, “Cinematic or Photographic Fiction” an available option to every graphic designer.

Session IV:

Virtual Human Chatbots: State of the Art – Next Level Consciousness + Advanced Visuals

The movies “2001,” “Data from Star Trek,” “Her” and “Ex Machina” have created a public expectation, for what “Virtual Human Technology” is understood to be. Is this level of AI consciousness out of reach? Since the mass exposure of Generative AI, to literally more than one billion computer users in the past year, a level of comfort and dependency has been readily embraced, and the anticipation of an enhanced immersive experience would surely be welcomed. AIs are already employed for “Deep Research,” as “Medical Co-Pilots,” as “Conversational AI Companions,” “Virtual Performers or Celebrities” and “Company Spokespersons.” In fact, there may be no limit to the role of AI Co-Pilots in our everyday lives. The manifestation of a fully realized “Virtual Human” as a Humanoid Robot or like “Her,” as a synthetic persona will likely be a welcome colleague. In this session we will see demos of the current “Best in Class.”

Noon – 12:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO – The Most Important AI Cinematic Movie Shorts in the past 6 Months

The “In My Opinion Roundtables” will bring to life the daily and sometimes hourly ongoing discussions of AI, technology and creativity as represented on “Media,” and “Social Media” platforms. And it often the first thing the AI and creative industries read to jumpstart the day. Across the board, independent technologists and academics, artists and creatives, journalists and opinion writers create the “Lifeblood Discussion” in all matters of AI, creativity, art and tech innovation. In this, the first roundtable of the day, the topic is Cinematic AI, Innovative Movies, Music Videos, Video Experiments and Special Effects. The speakers participating in this roundtable will not be unlike the viewers in our virtual audience, they will all be participants in the daily conversation at the core of what we might call, the “IMO In My Opinion” global community.

Session II:

The AI Breakthrough: Establishing a New Art Form - Algorithmic, Poetic Computation and Digital Art

What does it mean for art when creativity intersects unbounded computation? New frontiers emerge. As algorithms dance with imagination, revolutionary artifacts are the result. We witness math-derived beauty, code-constructed consciousness, silicon muses. The origins of these ideas trace to pioneers like John Whitney animating to electronic beats in 1960s Los Angeles or Frieder Nake algorithmically auto-drawing alongside Andy Warhol's Pop Art ascent. And today, we must look to and thank Zach Lieberman of MIT, for his seminal contribution to the field of algorithmic, poetic computation, and digital experiences. Today, there are an unlimited number of artists and adventurers experimenting in algorithmic and poetic computation. In this session we honor this magnificent tradition.

Session III:

The Best in AI Music: Pro Reviews: Musicians, Techies, Critics

In this session, we bring together musicians, producers, craftsmen, and software developers to better understand “AI and Music,” and the role it is playing in the trajectory and future of music creation. Is the professional use of AI substantially different from the impact of synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic gear on the music of the 1970s and 80s? Obviously, AI can generate original composition, melodies and lyrics, and flex its technological muscles in musical creation and there is no question that the professional musician and producer can use it to great effect in day-to-day work. But music and art denote emotion and passion that come from the human experience. The AI might be able to mimic Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, but can an AI synthesize a musician and musical creations of that order?

Session: IV:

Multimodal AI Creation – Deep Dive on 3D – Taking NeRF to the Limits

Among the goals of our conference attendees is to create “Cinematic Images,” to upscale a 2D image and reimagine it as a 3D Images in metaverse environment and to then make it move in a cinematic frame. We are entering an age of imaging moving images from text commands, from transforming an iPhone photo and transforming it into a Cinematic two-minute film. Much of this is known as NeRF, Neural Radiance Field technology and it is at the core of all the primary image transformation technologies being developed by NVIDIA, Unity, Unreal Engine, Google, Meta and Runway. Volumetric 3D images can be created from artistic sketches and those images can then be transformed into cinematic experiences. In this session we will probe the minds of the geek philosophers in our roundtable.

1 – 1:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO – The Most Dynamic in “AI & Technology: The 24/7 AI Tech News Feed” - From Updates to Analysis

The weekend of OpenAI’s November 2023 meltdown had a special meaning for everyone in the technology industry. It ranked somewhere between D-Day, the World Series and the Thanksgiving week that followed. While the ultimate meaning of the great technology feast of Thanksgiving 2023 may still be unclear, what was perfectly clear was the level of excitement generated on social media. Every person worth their salt in the industry was glued to their “Feed,” reading real-time updates from the “Principal Players Themselves!” tech movie stars each and every one. And “Keyboard Tech Visionaries,” were providing play-by-play on the social media platforms. OpenAI almost broke the Internet that weekend, because it secretly spoke to us. It spoke to us because AI is the most dominant new technology since the Internet boom in 1999 and because the social media platforms provide a massive community to codify our dreams.

Session II:

The Apple Vision Pro - Spatial AI: Advanced Awareness - Let’s Go There

In this session, we will not be debating the pros and cons of the Apple Vision Pro. YouTube has already served up hundreds of them.  AVP has opened the door to “Spatial Computing” with a clarity that has never existed before. Will AVP be a gateway to “Immersive Entertainment?” Yes it will. Will AVP open the door to “Creative Productivity?” Yes it will. Will this version of AVP be the gateway to lighter and less expensive footprints. Yes it will. Will it become a preferred communications device? Yes it will. All this and more, especially for the installed base of over 2 Billion users worldwide of Apple phone or computer users. The AVP is like a down payment on the future of computing and communication.

Session III:

Virtual Human Exploration: Nuance & Emotion • Vocal Expression • Facial Movements – Sentiment - Hyper-Realistic Synthesis of Prose

Can we as humans create emotional bonds with virtual or synthetic beings? That is a good question that we cannot answer, at least we have not experienced it quite yet. We have experienced it through movies such as “Her” and “Blade Runner.” And today we can experience conversational AI with Chat Bots, which are becoming more advanced in their ability to explore complex philosophical and emotional questions, which can be exceedingly helpful in academic, work related and even through creative composition. AI developers are not far away from not only imagining but creating the virtual human, in video form and soon, as a “Humanoid Robot.” It is about nuance and emotion, vocal expression and sentiment and synthesis of prose. Don’t be surprised when a door opens, and in it will be a brother from another planet.

Session: IV:

AI 3D Simulations, Character Behavior and Story Generation: Exploring GANs and Character-Aware Neural Language Models

Can AI technology make movies? If we begin with that question and search for answers, we will find that the progress is not only being made, in some weeks, the progress appears to be a breakthrough. Compare the “Will Smith Spaghetti” video of a year ago with the OpenAI’s recent “Sora” synthetic video creations and one might call that an “OMG” moment, the “Aha Moment” in AI and video creation. How long, how detailed, how dramatic, and nuanced must the prompt be to generate the first five minutes of a short film? And, how many seconds, minutes or hours will it take for the AI to generate the “Cinematic Experience?” In this session, we will open a discussion about AI, 3D simulations and story generation. What is the journey to AI and storytelling?

2 – 2:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO: “In My Opinion” AI & Technology on YouTube: A Major Media Category of its Own

While YouTube may be the platform for movies, music, sports, and deep dives into every facet of humanity, it is overwhelmingly the home of everything technology, from fifteen-minute product reviews to hour-long podcasts on the most complex and groundbreaking innovation in Artificial Intelligence. YouTube has replaced the influence of tech writers at newspapers and magazines.  In fact, YouTube also functions as a “University Program” in technology. Hundreds of thousands of YouTube viewers have “Learned to Code” on YouTube. One day there will be an Academy Awards for Tech Influencers or Tech Podcasters, or Deep Dive Tech Lecturers or Technology Artists. For today, we are pleased to welcome a group of renown technology experts and innovators who regularly post on YouTube.

Session II:

Prompt as Code – The Interface of Natural Human Language with the Complexity of Algorithms

Let’s face down the paradox at hand.  Creative human language encourages subtlety and ambiguity, the intuitive and poetic which would seem to be at odds with the strictly structured demands of code and computer programming. How do we square the circle of lyrical expression and the joy in crafting inventive narrative flows with the current state of AI? After all, it is in the beauty of language that we communicate our deepest feelings which would appear at odds with the unambiguous logic and structured sequences of AI. Perhaps the paradox which exists today, in time, with further development and refinement of AI and ML will someday disappear. It is likely that the interface of language and algorithm will be bridged and make way for a next generation of creative and code.

Session: III:

A Demo: AI Artists and Photographers “Train” their own “Themed Model Sets”

Here’s something for artists and photographers to consider, training your own “AI Neural Network” with the digitized library of your life’s artistic work. In the end, an AI could explore that universe of imagery, the sum-total of your imagination, and create new and unique visual or audio and visual experiences. What if the Andy Warhol collection of sketches, interviews, silk screens, movies, video, and other Warhol artifacts were “Trained” in a Neural Network Architecture, a Warhol GAN, so that the AI would internalize the nuances, colors, stylistic flourishes and idiosyncratic ideas and subtleties in Warhol's style. Over time and through some months or years of trial and error, of artistic and other unique data set experimentation, a new AI Language of Andy Warhol would begin to emerge. It might be very different from the Warhol we know, but it also might be equally unique.

3 – 3:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO – "In My Opinion:" Breakthroughs in Generative AI, LLMs, Virtual Humans or Diffusion Technology

The “AI Newsfeeds” are like a technology racetrack with the thoroughbreds always out pacing the “Newsfeed Mids,” the second-raters who cop the headlines or videos for cheap “Clicks.”  But it is always the “Techie Purebreds” who “lay down the law” and take over the conversation. It’s what separates the “Pros” from the “Posers.” Establishing the winners on the “Tech” racetrack when an audience of hundreds of thousands a day are trying to determine the breaking news on AIs, LLMs, Virtual Humans or Diffusion Technology. The tech industry is the most competitive and probably the most transparent as well. To the winners go the spoils or the win goes to players with the “First Mover Advantage.” It’s hard to say what’s true, which is why up-to-the-minute “Long or Short Takes” off social-media can sometimes be the difference maker.

Session II:

The Hollywood Trajectory: The Generative AI Video Timeline: 2023 – 2024 – 2025 – 2026

How fast will AI take over Hollywood? That’s the question. After YouTube; After VFX and the Nightmare of Sequels, After Netflix, Amazon and cord cutting; Remember, Napster Killed the Music Industry!!  What’s next? Is AI the Machine that’s going to “Eat Hollywood.” We are already beginning to understand the impact of AI on Screenwriting, AI and Virtual Charters and AI’s impact on VFX. Video Editing is clearly in the eye of the AI storm and the role of extras not to mention complicated backgrounds that will magically appear through the power of AI. In this session, we will speculate on the impact of AI on Hollywood and try to understand the impact and growth of “The AI Blob.” How soon will entire movies, TV shows and Ads being fully produced by a giant AI. 2026? 2028? What will Hollywood look like in 2030?

Session: III:

IMO – “In My Opinion:” The AI Artists & Computational Designers, Critics & Academics – The Passion is on Social Media

AI has “Rung the Starting Bell,” in the cultural embrace of Digital Art. It has given license for “Artistic Creators” and the cultural powers that be to embrace the unique tools which include the ideas of Computational Art together with the greater impact of machine learning together with artificial intelligence. This has been years in the making. The outcry surrounding “Photoshop” in the 1990s produced a howl, as if a “Foreign Religious Force” had invaded the “Design District of New York,” it was so long ago. And the arrival of the NFT was nearly as disconcerting. But somehow, perhaps it is because of the obvious “Power of AI,” the imagery that the AIs produce is somehow creating its own sense of inevitability. In this session will be bring together a group of “Creatives” to discuss the arrival of a new art form and perhaps a new consciousness.

4 – 4:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO - AI Couture, Fashion & Beauty: Influencers, Virtual Models, Electronic Runways, Visual Design and Electric Materials

Session II:

The AI Creativity Co-Pilot: Miles, Kubrick, Coltrane, Scorsese & David Bowie by your Side

AI may not be able to create a symphony, inventing the arc of a significant film project or improvise sophisticated jazz, but it can be “Trained” to the entire film, music and artistic libraries and associated materials, including film, video, text and music of all the great artists in history.  In addition, it can be “Trained” to understand how to break down screenplay elements, character development and emotional range, scene by scene, film by film, so that at the end of the many months long process of “Training” on the works of Stanley Kubrick and John Coltrane, one might have successfully created an AI that can approximate and converse in the “Language” of the masters. The AI might not be able to create a product that looks or feels like a work produced by one of the greats, but for a creative professional, such a “Co-Pilot” might become an indispensable aide and remarkable addition to the creative process.

5 – 5:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

IMO – The Best in Humor and Satire, Deep Fake Music, Girlfriends, Avatars or other AI Meme Phenomena this Past Year

Question does an “AI Girlfriend” count as a “Deep Fake,” because she’s definitely a “Virtual Human,” but she’s also convincing and a perfect replica of a famous movie star. Swipe right for sure. And is the Meme version of Donald Trump, closer to the real one than the original? Or did Donald Trump actually perform in a “Bollywood Musical” and dance with a cast of hundreds? In this session, we’ll try to smoke out what’s real and who actually faked Frank Sinatra smoothy singing down and dirty rap lyrics. AI has opened the door to satire that is sending folks around the bend. Did the Beatles ever sing “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and did Paul Simon ever cover “Strawberry Fields.” It was just announced that the “Bohemian Rhapsody, Celebrity AI Cover Show” has more views on TikTok than Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero.” Is that real? But in the end, is AI humor ultimately any different from “The Bachelorette” or “Bachelor in Paradise?”

Session II:

AI & the Visual Art of the Imagination: ‘Creating Worlds that Never Were’ (Carl Sagan)

As Carl Sagan once eloquently stated, there are unseen worlds, born from the fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence, that actually have the power to transform our understanding of art and reality itself. It is one of the joys of innovation, the result of our culture’s passage into “Brave New Worlds” of advanced technology and the desire to explore. Through computational art as well as generative models, artists are experiencing and creating art through new eyes, reaching into what one might call the “Uncharted Territory of the Imagination.” In this session, we will explore the symbiotic relationship between artist and machine and probe a universe of new possibilities, where the boundaries of what is possible in some ways have never been imagined before.
