With the rapid development of AI technology, many questions and implications have emerged for creative individuals and industries. What shape will this new paradigm take? Are there ethical best practices? What are unique use cases? How can we protect creative careers and property? On a quarterly basis, we sit down with experts to engage in a series of conversations around these questions and more.

In this Tech Talk session, we welcome creative entrepreneur and immersive storyteller Alton Glass. He’ll share how he uses AI, motion capture and real-time 3D tools to rapidly prototype and refine ideas – empowering artists to not only experience and shape their stories before full production begins, but also build and expand cinematic worlds in entirely new ways.
