Session II: A Virtual Event

AI and The Future of Creativity: Insights from Reid AI

How will the creative process change when people can collaborate with digital twins of themselves? Exploring this question was one of the motivations behind the Reid AI project-- a digital twin built to replicate the thinking and cadence of entrepreneur, venture capitalist and AI innovator Reid Hoffman. Reid AI is built using a custom GPT trained on Reid Hoffman's articles, podcast interviews, speeches and books. The video is created using the platform Hour One, and the voice using ElevenLabs. This session led by Ben Relles will feature a conversation with Reid Hoffman on the impact of AI on creativity, and what Reid learned from creating an AI version of himself. In addition it will feature perspectives from the team that created the project, along with a perspective on AI and Hollywood in a discussion with Reid AI.
