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.

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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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.

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:

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!

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.

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.

Speakers to be announced

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.

Speakers to be announced

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.”

Speakers to be announced

Session III:

The AI Pro-Audio Studio: Hands-On - Producing an AI Music Track

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.

Speakers to be announced

Session IV:

Virtual Human Chatbots: Next Level Consciousness + Advanced Visuals – A Social Experience

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.”
