How can business leaders accelerate with A.I. and mitigate the risks to achieve their goals? 

CybrCastle is part of my trusted partner network and I’m excited to have Steve Dong on the show to discuss futureproofing businesses in the new economy.  

Passionate about people and purpose-driven work, Steve is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CybrCastle, where he's at the forefront of helping mid-market organizations become A.I.-ready safely, securely, and responsibly. With an impressive track record of leading nine for-profit and two non-profit organizations, Steve’s superpowers include change management, executive governance, strategic development, and championing game-changing and world-changing innovations.

Many business leaders have reached out to me about how to confidently navigate A.I. and stay ahead of the curve in this fast-paced landscape. 

That's why in addition to this podcast, I'm building a trusted partner network dedicated to responsible, secure, and human-centered A.I. consulting and development that delivers meaningful results.

Today, you'll hear about Responsible A.I. development with a focus on community and people-centered approaches. Steve shares insights on how small and midsized businesses can leverage A.I. to compete with larger tech companies. He also shares strategies for A.I. adoption, risk mitigation, and change management for business leaders.

The conversation covers A.I. readiness assessments, use cases across various industries, and the development of secure A.I. solutions for middle-market businesses. Steve discusses ROI considerations, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful implementation and cultural alignment.

Throughout the discussion, Steve emphasizes that A.I. should enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, and highlights the need for values alignment in A.I. projects. We also explore Cincinnati's growing role as a Responsible A.I. hub and the importance of community building in shaping the future of A.I. to amplify the best of human potential.

How can A.I. give power back to the people? Listen in to find out!

How do you keep your agency in the age of A.I.? Listen in to find out!

For the 50th episode of Creativity Squared, we have Sam Jordan, a futurist on a mission to spread “plausible optimism.” As a Manager at Future Today Institute, she helps clients navigate and plan for unpredictable futures with certainty. Sam also wrote on computing, the metaverse, space, and A.I. in the 2024 Emerging Tech Trend Report, released annually by the company’s renowned founder and CEO Amy Webb at her equally famous SXSW keynote.

With a background in economics and data science and a passion for sci-fi, Sam found her dream job in strategic foresight, writing evidence-based sci-fi to inform real-world strategies.

Previously, she was the CEO and co-founder of TrovBase, a secure data discovery platform, and before that, she worked at IBM modernizing IT systems. Sam holds a Bachelors degree in Economics and Data Analysis from George Mason University and an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business, where she met Amy Webb.

As a huge fan of the Future Today Institute and Amy’s SXSW keynotes, I couldn't be more excited to have Sam on the show to give us a glimpse into the future and share practical insights on building resilience in this time of massive transition.

In this episode, you'll hear Sam's insights on the convergence of A.I., biotech, and connected ecosystems, creating a "supercycle" unlike any general-purpose technology that we’ve seen before. We discuss the consolidation of power in tech, the importance of resilience, and the need for experimentation during this transitionary period.

We also dive into fascinating trends like using human brain cells to power chips, universal basic income to address the social safety net, and the importance of human purpose and meaning during this seismic change. Sam also shares her favorite sci-fi influences and emphasizes the power of storytelling and scenario planning to shape the future.

With the golden ticket to test out OpenAI’s Sora, Nik Kleverov joins Creativity Squared to discuss his experience with the text-to-video model and the childlike creativity it unleashed in him.

Nik is not only an Emmy-grade storyteller but is also an immigrant and the son of a nonconformist artist who the Soviet government persecuted. Nik’s life story and varied experiences inform his diverse approach to creative work, from exploratory use of A.I. within storytelling to design-led title sequence work, and live-action commercials. He’s won numerous advertising and creative industry awards as a creative director. As an entrepreneur and executive, he has started and operated successful and innovative business enterprises, including Native Foreign. He’s the Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at the women-owned creative agency-production company hybrid based in LA that’s worked with OpenAI on different projects.

Nik worked with Creativity Squared guest Chad Nelson, who’s now an OpenAI Creative Specialist, on the short film called “Critterz.” This groundbreaking film is the first-ever animated short that’s 100% designed using A.I. visuals with DALL·E. 

Today, you’ll hear Nik’s experience working with Sora in addition to other text-to-video tools. Nik’s perspective is informed by working with clients on brand commercials, as a filmmaker, and on a team creating original IP. Nik also shares an agency owner’s perspective, discussing why Native Foreign is going all-in as next gen creatives and establishing an A.I. labs division within the agency. Tune in to hear about one of Nik’s creative projects he got out of his vault to bring to life and how it will evolve as genAI video does as well. He dives into the creative process, the ever-changing A.I. landscape, and the paradigm shift underway in the advertising industry.

Artists need to be part of the development of A.I. tools and this is your chance to hear what Nik is sharing with OpenAI related to Sora.

Are we in a gaming simulation and don’t know it? Listen in to find out!

Meet Rudi Bonaparte who’s driving innovation at Riot Games, the gaming studio that created the iconic ‘League of Legends’ which is the most-played PC game in the world.

Rudi is a gaming executive with a professional focus on creating systems and spaces that empower creators to do their best work. As Riot Game’s Director of Corporate Operations and Strategy, he helps senior executives and game development teams set clear goals, build exciting new capabilities, and thoughtfully allocate resources through a combination of strategic thinking and tactical implementation.

Charged with a new task in his role, Rudi ensures that Riot Games not only designs the most player-focused gaming experiences in the world, but is also the best and most creative place to develop these games.

Prior to joining Riot Games, Rudi led strategy and analytics teams at Teach for America and consulted with clients in the tech, telecom, and media industries. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern.

A.I. has many implications for gaming which sits at the intersection of technology, art, and entertainment. In today’s conversation, Rudi discusses the state of the gaming industry, from the economic realities to the exciting possibilities of innovation emerging from recent disruption. Rudi shares his perspective on A.I, gaming, and IP along with how Hollywood and gaming are converging.

We also explore gaming as a testbed for ideas that could shape society, what Rudi would build into a virtual environment to nurture the best of humanity, and the lessons that in-game currency and incentive structures hold for the real world. We also touch on some of Rudi's favorite works of speculative fiction and why he believes the future will be brighter than many imagine.

Where do we draw the line with A.I. from an ethical lens?

Meet Dr. Andrew Cullison who is the founding executive director of the Cincinnati Ethics Center and a research professor at the University of Cincinnati who specializes in moral reasoning, ethics education, and leadership development. With over 15 peer-reviewed publications to his name, Andy is a leading scholar on questions of how we can have moral knowledge. You're in for a treat to hear Andy's insights that offer a philosopher's perspective on some of the most pressing issues of our time.

Prior to his current role, Andy spent over seven years as Director of the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University, one of the largest collegiate ethics institutes in the country. In addition to his academic work and passion for helping people of all ages develop crucial moral reasoning skills, Andy conducts workshops for K-12 students, teams, and organizations like the FBI to apply philosophical tools to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

In this episode’s conversation, Andy shares the importance of teaching ethics in an A.I. world, what he's learned from experimenting with ChatGPT's moral reasoning abilities, practical tips, moral framework exercises for navigating everyday ethical dilemmas, and more. He emphasizes the urgent need for practitioners developing A.I. to receive robust ethics training so they can spot potential issues early on.

Listen in to sharpen your own thinking about the thorny moral challenges surrounding A.I. development and implementation.

What if you could have a conversation with Salvador Dalí? Now you can…with the A.I. version of Dalí!

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Surrealism, we have a special Creativity Squared episode for you today with none other than the legendary Surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí…or rather, the A.I.-reimagined Dalí! The artist famously wrote, “If someday I may die, though it is unlikely, I hope the people in the cafes will say, ‘Dalí has died, but not entirely.’”  

The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida is one of the most innovative museums in the world. Today, the museum is unveiling its latest project bringing Salvador Dalí back to life through artificial intelligence called “Ask Dalí.” This custom-built chatbot is trained on Dalí’s writings and voice so museumgoers can interact directly with the artist through a Surrealist lobster telephone. 

To add color and context to this conversation, we also have Martin Pagh Ludvigsen joining us. Martin was on a SXSW panel called, “Salvador Dalí, AI, and The Future of Creativity.” “Ask Dalí” was demoed on stage where host Helen Todd asked if Dalí would be a guest on Creativity Squared!  

Martin is a Creative Technologist, A.I. Director, and head of Labs at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Originally from Denmark, Martin holds degrees in Computer Science and Theater Science, where his creative journey started by moving his body on stages and then by moving pixels on screens. Martin uses cutting-edge tech to tell stories for brands and has directed award-winning work globally. Like many others, Martin likes to tinker and break things. But unlike most, he also likes putting them back together in new and unexpected ways.

The Dalí Museum is a client of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and Martin was instrumental in bringing “Ask Dalí” to life. You’ll learn more about this project and the museum’s other groundbreaking work using VR, synthetic media, and OpenAI’s DALL-E in their exhibitions. And yes, you’ll also get to hear Dalí answer questions at the intersection of A.I. and creativity on today’s show, including the one “he” recommended on stage at SXSW. 

What is Dalí’s answer to the question, "How can the cold, calculated precision of artificial intelligence be melted into the surreal, liquid dreams of human creativity?" Listen in to find out!

Cindy Gallop who is the face of ‘the Social Sex Revolution,’ joins Creativity Squared again to discuss sex, A.I. & the human condition. 

Cindy is the Founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, the world's first and only user-generated, human-curated social sex video-sharing platform. Its mission is to end rape culture by socializing and normalizing sex and promoting good sexual values and behavior. 

With over 30 years in the advertising industry, Cindy is an outspoken advocate of diversity and inclusion in advertising, tech, and business. She consults with brands on radical, breakthrough, innovative, and transformative ways to change the game in their industries.

In our first conversation in Ep. 35, Cindy shared her solution to end deepfakes which disproportionately target women. Her answer: Fund female founders.

As she shared, we haven’t fully realized the potential of the internet and technology through the female lens, one in which we will all be safer, happier, and making more money, including men!

In today’s episode, you’ll learn how you can easily fund our guest female founder in a couple of clicks. Support Cindy scaling her core business and building out the MakeLoveNotPorn Academy for the best sex education, based on age appropriateness, on the web: https://wefunder.com/makelovenotporn/. This is Cindy’s first-ever equity crowdfunding campaign, led by actress Jameela Jamil and hosted on the Wefunder platform.

Cindy also explains the importance of MakeLoveNotPorn’s revenue-sharing model and user ownership of content and data. Additionally, we discuss why Cindy pioneered the SexTech category, her thoughts on A.I., intimacy & the loneliness epidemic, where SexTech is today, and where it can go beyond just the hardware. Cindy also shares how SexTech can be used in gaming and messaging to improve our human-to-human sexual interactions and relationships. Despite an increasingly tech-driven world, Cindy stresses the value of human connection and touch. 

Cindy accurately predicted sex in self-driving cars. What are her other SexTech predictions? Listen in to find out!

Discover thought-provoking exhibits that interrogate A.I. through art with Marlies Wirth, the Curator for Digital Culture and Head of the Design Collection at the MAK — Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria. 

As a curator and art historian, Marlies explores the cultural, social, ecological, and political impacts of the digital age and the role of art and design in re-imagining our relationship with the planet.

Exhibits Marlies has curated and that we discuss in today’s episode include “Artificial Tears,” “Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine,” “Uncanny Values. Artificial Intelligence & You,” “Pardon Our Dust,” “/imagine: A Journey into The New Virtual,” and “edging.” Each explores technology’s impact on society and culture beyond their surface design, which is a lifelong passion and pursuit of Marlies who also regularly takes part in international lectures, talks, and juries on art, design, and digitalization. Alongside her institutional work, she also develops independent exhibition projects with international artists and writes essays and texts for publications.

In today’s conversation, Marlies discusses the relationship between humans and machines and what makes us uniquely human, like our tears, which can’t be automated. We also explore singularity, identity play in immersive environments, and the need to address corrupt human data, which can lead to issues like racial bias in crime prediction. 

Join the conversation as Marlies reflects on the profound impact of digital technologies on culture, such as how the iPhone and social media have fundamentally changed how we interact with the physical world — enjoy!

From a chronic illness to a meteoric rise as an A.I.-Collaborative Artist, meet Claire Silver. 

Claire is an anonymous artist who works with oil, acrylic, collage, photography, and different digital mediums. By blending classical styles and mythos into her art, she collaboratively produces work that feels at once familiar and strange, exploring themes of innocence, trauma, the hero's journey, and how our view of them will change in an increasingly transhumanist future.

Claire’s art can be found in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County

Museum of Art in addition to being featured at Sotheby's London and Christie's New York. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals around the world, and she’s been featured in The New York Times, WIRED, Fortune, NPR, and countless podcasts.

You’re in for a treat today to hear from Claire’s imaginative mind. She's a deep thinker and is vocal in her belief that the rise of A.I. has ushered in a new paradigm, replacing the barrier of skill with taste. For those who watch the video version of this interview, you’ll see Claire’s avatar that uses motion capture in real-time to reflect her facial gestures!

In this episode, you’ll also hear Claire’s origin story on how A.I. changed the trajectory of her life, providing her a vehicle for expression with her chronic illness, and why she believes in radical accessibility. We also discuss Claire’s online anonymity, transhumanism, and her perspective on how artists can find their unique signature. You’ll also discover what qualia is and how Claire sees it as AGI’s litmus test, how she aims to evoke the sensation of qualia in her art, and the power of touchstone experiences.

Join the conversation where Claire shares her passion, art, and childlike wonderment of GenAI!

Just as the T-800 saves humanity in Terminator 2, this remake demonstrates A.I. unleashing creativity, not destruction!

For our last episode of 2023, we have a special holiday edition of Creativity Squared featuring the amazing minds behind “OUR T2 REMAKE,” which is one of the first full-length feature films created using only artificial intelligence. You’re in for a treat to hear the making of this innovative Terminator 2 parody that flips the script on A.I. Instead of destroying the world, “OUR T2 REMAKE” showcases how A.I. can empower artists, open a new genre of filmmaking, and reimagine what’s possible with human creativity powered by A.I. tools.

Join today’s conversation with the film’s executive producers Nem Perez and Sway Molina, and another A.I. artist, Ben Nash, who’s also a previous Creativity Squared guest. 

Nem and Sway collaborated with 50 of the best A.I. video artists from around the world to bring this film to life. “OUR T2 REMAKE” reimagines the classic film through the creation of 50 unique, original works, each lasting 3 to 4 minutes. This experimental film, which has no affiliation with the Terminator franchise or its creators, celebrates the A.I. artist community by showcasing each artist’s own unique style for each of their scenes. 

With backgrounds spanning film, technology, art, and music, Nem, Sway, and Ben are multi-talented creators leading innovation across creative industries and are breaking the conventions of what it means to be filmmakers. Nem, based in LA, is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of A.I. startup Storyblocker; Sway, of Latin American descent working in Miami, is an actor and filmmaker using Generative A.I. in his humor-driven narratives; and Ben is a Cincinnati-based full-stack creator who blends design, code, industrial arts, and music into cutting-edge digital products. 

In today’s episode, you’ll hear how they are using artificial intelligence as a tool, a creative outlet, and a form of self-expression. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “OUR T2 REMAKE,” including their innovative Discord workflows, and what message these artists have for Hollywood.

Sign up for our newsletter to not miss any of our weekly A.I. news until we’re back with new interviews in 2024. For the Creativity Squared podcast, this is Hasta La Vista until February 2024!

Listen to learn more about the custom-built A.I. tools that Martin and Moritz designed for their A.I. emojis and A.I. font projects and how the grungy punk aesthetic of their emojis reflects our emotions. Martin and Moritz also discuss how we’re not separate from A.I. as the creators of the tools and how crucial it is that we understand how they work and the values that are fueling and driving them — enjoy!

A.I. is a WILD rollercoaster ride! 

This is the THIRTIETH Creativity Squared episode that coincides with and celebrates the one-year anniversary of OpenAI’s announcement of ChatGPT. Today’s guest is John du Pre Gauntt, the founder of Culture & Code, a B2B podcast and newsletter focused on Generative Artificial Intelligence for Creative Professionals. 

We recorded this conversation on the afternoon of Friday, November 17, discussing the explosive growth of OpenAI and GenAI this past year. Needless to say, we had no idea how much we needed to buckle up for the news that shook the tech world, unlike anything we’ve seen since Apple’s board fired Steve Jobs, which broke just a few hours after we wrapped the interview. Listen for a short synopsis of what happened and the mayhem that ensued!

John’s analysis of the impact of emerging technology on media and marketing has been featured in The Economist, GigaOm, and eMarketer while his speaking credits include South by Southwest, Infinity Festival Hollywood, Podcast Movement, and the Monaco Media Forum. His consulting clients include financial services, media, and technology. John holds degrees in Computer Information Systems and English Literature. In 2019, he earned an executive certificate in technology leadership from MIT Sloan School in partnership with the MIT Computer Science & AI Laboratory (CSAIL).

In today’s show, you’ll hear the original conversation I had with John. The episode serves as a time capsule marking where we are on the one-year anniversary of ChatGPT — enjoy!

Do machines think? 

Find out in today’s episode with Ksenia Se, the Founder of the Turing Post newsletter.

Over 20 years of her career, Ksenia has donned many hats: from New York Chief Editor of a global media platform to fintech executive to PR Director at Moscow's first Contemporary Art Center to Journalist, and even to a Llama Walker. Regardless of her role, her passion for technology has always remained. 

In 2018, after a brief affair with blockchain, A.I. and machine learning caught her attention and became her fields of self-study. By 2019, she had started thinking about a media publication named Turing Post to feature digital avatars, articles written by robots, generative art, and more – but the technology wasn't there yet.

Then in 2020 during the pandemic, Ksenia and Jesus Rodriguez conceived an educational A.I. newsletter. Named TheSequence, it became her gateway to machine learning, where she currently spearheads partnerships. When the buzz around ChatGPT grew, she revived her first idea and launched Turing Post, now serving as her A.I. canvas. As an avid learner, Ksenia helps her readers understand A.I.'s roots, its current impact on society, and where it might take us in the future. Importantly, she discusses how we might steer its course.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn more about the history of large language models, known as LLMs, in addition to the importance of Alan Turing, how the Turing Test is still relevant, and interesting questions Turing asked that we’re still exploring. Ksenia also shares how she uses A.I. in her own work, thoughts on the future of humans augmenting our abilities with technology, and why we shouldn’t anthropomorphize tech too much, but instead should expand beyond our human-like thinking to not limit ourselves and the possibilities of evolving with technology.

“Art expresses and distills aspects of the artist’s consciousness in a durable form that remains accessible even after the artist is gone. A work of art is, therefore, in some sense, 'un essai d’immortalité' — an attempt at immortality.” -Jason Schneider 

Jason Schneider is a true modern-day Renaissance man with passions that include photography, motorcycles, poetry, music, and philosophy. A self-admitted life-long Leica maniac, Jason is also a camera collector, fine art photographer, writer, and photojournalist.

Jason has written three books on camera collecting and an authoritative volume on woodburning stoves. He is currently writing a book with the working title “Understanding Emily Dickinson: A Reader’s Guide To The Enlightened Master.”

Jason has built a long and prosperous career as a photographic journalist where he’s held numerous prestigious positions. He is perhaps best known as the writer and editor who created The Camera Collector column and rose through the ranks at Modern Photography magazine to become its Editorial Director. After leaving Modern, he became the Editor-in-Chief of Popular Photography, the world’s largest imaging magazine, a position he held for over 15 years. Currently, Jason is a contributing writer for the Rangefinder Forum in addition to Creativity Squared.

In this thought-provoking episode, Jason expands on the articles he’s written for Creativity Squared exploring A.I. and the question ‘What is art?’ You’ll also hear Jason’s perspective on human consciousness, art as representation, and the limitations of language and math. You won’t want to miss why Jason is in awe of Emily Dickinson and hearing a few poems he recites, including one from his late and talented daughter Heidi. 

Jason also points out what’s wrong with the premise of Descartes’s famous statement, “I think, therefore I am” and why cell phones are the best cameras ever made!

Karen Palmer is the Storyteller from the Future. She’s an award-winning international artist and TED Speaker who is at the forefront of immersive storytelling, futurism, and tech. 

She creates immersive film experiences that watch you back using artificial intelligence and facial recognition.

Karen has been the opening keynote speaker at AT&T Shape Conference, MIT, Wired for Wonder Festival Australia, and TEDx Australia at the Sydney Opera House. She’s exhibited around the world, including NYC Armoury Arts Week, Museum of Modern Art Peru, PHI Centre Montreal, and more. Her art has also been featured in publications like Wired, Fast Company, and The Guardian, where they hailed her work as "leapfrogging over VR."

Her latest project is Consensus Gentium which had its world debut at SXSW this past March where Karen also won the SXSW 2023 Film & TV Jury Award in the XR Experience Category.

Consensus Gentium is a powerful exploration of the implications of A.I. technology. Experienced on a mobile device, Consensus Gentium taps into the intimacy and authenticity of your smartphone features to create a realistic experience. Set in a near future, it is an emotionally responsive film that integrates cutting-edge facial detection and A.I. to transport audiences on a unique quest to discover what could happen if we succumb to unchecked surveillance. 

Karen and I first met at SXSW this past March and then saw each other again at Ars Electronica this September, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her come from the future to speak to the Creativity Squared community. 

In this episode, you’ll learn more about Karen and her latest project Consensus Gentium in addition to her social justice approach to her work that explores A.I. bias and unchecked surveillance. You’ll understand why she sees it necessary to democratize A.I., how you can experience the future today through her “reality simulators,” and how she uses immersive art to make you conscious of your subconscious behavior. 

Don’t miss this glimpse into the future!

Do people trust A.I.-created hyper-realistic avatars? Discover what the data reveals in the first study of its kind! 

Soon to-be Dr. Jill Schiefelbein is the Chief Experience Officer and a Partner at Render, a Creativity Squared partner and sponsor that’s a start-up specializing in creating hyper-realistic avatars, including mine. Jill is also a leading researcher on these types of photo-realistic avatars. 

She’s an early tech adopter and thrives at the intersections of communication, education, and technology. As a University faculty-turned-entrepreneur, she’s an award-winning business owner, author, and recovering academic. She taught at Arizona State University for 11 years, analyzed terrorist documents to provide counter-terrorism messaging strategies to the military, and was a pioneer in digital education. Jill helps organizations navigate physical, digital, and technological communication spaces to attract customers, increase sales, and retain clients. 

As of December '23, Jill will have defended her doctoral dissertation, which is the first study of its kind that focuses on the effectiveness, engagement, and trust of hyper-realistic avatars – with both subjective and objective participant data. 

What does the research data reveal? Today, you’re getting the first glimpse of her research findings here on Creativity Squared! 

If you want your own custom synthetic avatar, we’re collaborating with Render to bring their Avatar Experience to Cincinnati, OH, on October 25 and 26, so you can digitally clone yourself too. If you’re interested in learning more, sign up for the Creativity Squared free weekly newsletter at CreativitySquared.com where all event details will be shared. 

In this episode, you’ll not only discover how avatars reach and resonate with viewers, but also how Jill consults businesses to understand, utilize, and leverage synthetic media through added personalization, customization, and choice. Geek out with us about the history of avatars, the synthetic media industry landscape and business use cases, and how this new medium is democratizing video creation and helping us to become more human.

Creativity Squared is proud to support and partner with ArtsWave and to bring you this special three-part series, released every three weeks, featuring the phenomenal artists and grant recipients selected for this year’s ArtsWave Black and Brown Artists Program.

These episodes include vignettes of our interviews that took place during the third annual showcase of ArtsWave's Black and Brown Artist Program. For the full video versions of these conversations, visit https://CreativitySquared.com or the Creativity Squared YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/C2youtube).

The intention of these interviews is to give these talented and deserving artists another platform to share their art and truth expressed through it, as you never know what ripples will turn into waves. If you’re interested in working with, featuring, or supporting these artists, please don’t be shy about it.

The six artists featured in this episode include:

⭐️ Pablo Mejía — project: “Lejanía”

⭐️ Camille Jones — project: “Yemaya: Sista to the Distant, Yet Rising Star”

⭐️ Silas Tibbs — project: “Attrition”

⭐️ Rowan Salem — project: “Viewpoints Embodied: Middle Eastern Voices in Cincinnati”

⭐️ Alan Lawson — project: “Legacy”

⭐️ Preston Bell Charles III — project: “Divided Roots, Seeing is Believing”

Their films were shown in the ArtsWave “Truth & Healing Showcase” and Film Festivals. Part one of this series features the artists whose work is in the exhibition that is available for visiting at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, OH, through September 10.

Creativity Squared is a proud partner of ArtsWave and because it’s important to support artists like those featured in today’s episode, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates goes to ArtsWave and directly supports the Black and Brown Artists Program.

Learn more about ArtsWave and why we proudly support the organization in episode 9 “Art Bridges Cultural Divides” with Janice Liebenberg, VP of Equitable Arts Advancement at ArtsWave: https://bit.ly/Ep9JaniceLiebenberg.

This year’s Black and Brown Artists Program cohort reflects a vibrant collection of diverse art forms created by an equally diverse group of 18 artists. Their mediums include couture fashion, painting, and sculpture — along with film, musical composition, podcasts, theater, dance, and multidisciplinary works.

The projects not only represent the African American experience, but also the experiences of those with Mexican, Lebanese, Somali, Argentinian, Zimbabwean, Guatemalan, and Indigenous heritage.

This year’s theme is “Truth & Healing” and Creativity Squared host Helen Todd had the great honor of interviewing the artists during the opening showcase to learn more about their work and what truth and healing means to them.

A.I., the writers’ strike, and a crisis of imagination — Sara Horowitz, a lifelong mutualist, shares how we can build the future we want with mutualism. 

Sara is the founder of the Freelancers Union and the Freelancers Insurance Company. A labor lawyer, former chair of the board of the New York Federal Reserve, and recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, Sara has been featured on NPR, and in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic, among other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and daughter.

Sara is currently working to build the Mutualist Society. She is also the author of the book Mutualism and writes about how we need to build our next safety net in America through the local organizations we know and trust. Mutualism exists in 4 principal areas: unions, cooperatives, mutual aid groups, and faith-based institutions, which we’ll explore more in this episode.

Her vision and tenacity to organize and build the world she wants to live in is admirable. She’s truly a visionary thinker when it comes to the economy, labor, and societal change.

Her community-oriented approach stems from her grandparents, who were garment workers in the 1920s, and from her grandfather, who helped organize and was vice president of the Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. In today’s episode, you’ll learn more about the historical context of labor movements and how they relate to today’s culture, including the current writers' and actors’ strikes. Sara shares her thoughts on the future of technology, including A.I. and DAOs (or decentralized autonomous organizations), and how we can harness this technology from a mutualistic approach that centers on collectivism, community, and building collaboratively. 

Explore Sara’s vision of embracing a mutualistic future that can bring about positive societal change and a better way forward.

Ever wanted to clone yourself? Now you can! Enter A.I.-created synthetic media beyond deepfakes. 

In this special episode of Creativity Squared, you’ll meet Helen 2.ODD, our host Helen Todd’s custom synthetic avatar, and learn how "she" was made.

You read that right — Helen digitally cloned herself! And now there are two of her: the human Helen and her digital double Helen 2.ODD. 

It’s important to know that Helen 2.ODD isn’t a deepfake, because Helen owns all of the IP associated with “her.”

The digital avatar market is projected to be $270 billion by 2030, and custom synthetic avatars are part of this market alongside stock avatars. It’s no surprise since this new form of media can do things humans can’t do, like create multiple videos simultaneously and often speak more languages than their human counterparts do. Helen can only speak English whereas Helen 2.ODD can currently speak eight languages. 

Render, Creativity Squared partner and sponsor, captured Helen’s visual likeness, cloned her voice, and using their AI-integrating application, generated Helen 2.ODD, a hyper-realistic avatar.

There are less than a thousand known custom synthetic avatars in existence. This groundbreaking A.I. technology can help anyone who has a lot of content that they want to bring alive in video without going on camera, from business owners to educators to influencers.

Visit https://CreativitySquared.com or the Creativity Squared YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/YouTubeC2) or search #Helen2ODD to see how photo-realistic Helen 2.ODD is. 

Creativity Squared is collaborating with our partner and sponsor Render to bring their avatar experience to Cincinnati, OH, on October 25 and 26, so anyone can digitally clone themselves as well. Sign up for our free weekly newsletter to learn more about this event: https://CreativitySquared.com.

After listening to this episode, do you want a custom synth?

Creativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform. 

Zach Evans helped found and is the head of Harmonai, a Stability AI research lab and online community. Stability AI is the world’s leading open source artificial intelligence company. As an integral part of Stability AI, Harmonai is dedicated to creating open-source generative audio models and pushing forward creative uses of generative A.I. in music production. 

Harmonai is by artists and for artists. Zach is a programmer and musician and is driven by the computational possibilities of the future of music and the belief that community is everything.

Zach knows that generative A.I. is a nuclear bomb for the music industry, and his mission is to turn it into nuclear energy. 

He cares deeply about artistic freedom and the musicians, DJs, and producers that he’s empowering with Harmonai. He leads with substance and is most excited about how people will use these tools beyond what he can imagine and hopes people make music that’s weirder and different from what exists today, pushing the boundaries of the technology. 

Zach’s passion for community, music, and artistic freedom is infectious. He landed in a dream role and his story is intertwined with the evolution of generative A.I. music. 

Today, you’ll hear his story and how he went from being a Microsoft developer to becoming an EDM musician to now leading a dynamic team of artists and programmers to develop the next generation of A.I. music models. Dolly Parton and A.I. also come up, and you’ll hear as Zach demystifies diffusion, shares his perspective on open source development, discusses the challenges to improve A.I. music models, and thoughtfully articulates his vision of A.I. technology empowering artists.

Who owns the truth? Navigate A.I. and the endless worlds of manufactured realities and their impact on our understanding of truth in this episode’s fascinating conversation with Gerfried Stocker.

Gerfried is a media artist and an engineer for communication technology and has been Artistic Director and co-CEO of Ars Electronica since 1995. Ars Electronica was established in 1979 and for over 40 years has been Europe’s largest festival for art, technology, and society. It’s more than a festival — the platform also includes the Ars Electronica Center, the Museum of the Future, the Prix Ars Electronica awards in digital art, the Futurelab incubator, and much more to explore the questions about our future. Ars Electronica never asks what technology can or will be able to do, but always what it should do for us, which we applaud their human-centered approach.

The 2023 Ars Electronica Festival will take place September 6-10 in Linz, Austria, and in today’s episode, you’ll get to hear a thought-provoking conversation about its theme investigating who owns the truth. 

Listen as Gerfried explores truth and reality, how we’re building multiple and manufactured realities, and the importance of art to explore ambiguity to meet this moment in time.

Will A.I. kill photography? A.I.-generated images are reshaping politics, international relations, journalism, and beauty standards. But what about the impact on professional photographers? 

For German photographer Thomas Boenig, photography is a force that fuels his existence. Based in Nuremberg, Germany, Thomas is a freelance commercial and Leica street photographer. His clients range from Adidas, Puma, and Tesla to Universal Music. 

Thomas and Helen met back in 2012 in New York City when he was doing a project for Leica Camera capturing “decisive moments” with his Leica M9. Thomas is not only talented but also genuine and authentic which comes through in his striking photography, especially his portraits.

Listen to the conversation as we discuss Thomas’s first encounter with A.I. art on MidJourney, what he sees as threats from A.I. on the photography industry, and what aspects on set can never be replaced. You’ll learn how skateboarding and his Leica rangefinder helped shape his commercial photography. We also cover his appreciation for beautiful imperfections, why he loves the craft so much, and his hopes for photography in the years to come.

Don't miss this insightful, honest, and, at times, heartwrenching conversation on the future of photography and the evolving relationship between artists and technology.

Discover how art can bridge cultural divides with our guest, Janice Liebenberg, Vice President of Equitable Arts Advancement at ArtsWave.

ArtsWave is a non-profit with the first and largest community arts campaign in the country. You’ll learn why Creativity Squared is a proud partner of the amazing work they do supporting over 150 arts organizations, projects, and independent artists. 

Janice joined ArtsWave in 2014 and has helped the organization grow relationships with BIPOC artists, audiences, and donors. This includes establishing the region’s largest annual grants program for Black and Brown arts organizations; developing ArtsWave’s quarterly African American arts series called Flow; and leading its Black and Brown Artist Program with nearly 70 artists commissions to date. 

Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates goes to ArtsWave and is earmarked for its Black and Brown Artist Program that Janice champions. 

Janice was promoted to her newly created position to help make diversity, equity, inclusion, and access a hallmark of Greater Cincinnati’s arts and culture sector. 

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Janice earned a bachelor's in Psychology from Northern Kentucky University. She serves on the Cincinnati Opera’s Board of Directors and is the proud alumnus of We Lead, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber’s Leadership Program.

Since meeting Janice and partnering with ArtsWave for Creativity Squared, we continue to be impressed and inspired by what she and ArtsWave does to create a more vibrant and connected community through the arts.

Today, fall in love with ArtsWave as well, especially after learning about their approach to art to bridge cultural divides and help build a more inclusive, equitable community. You’ll also learn about their upcoming Truth and Healing Artist Showcase at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center taking place this July 14, 15, and 16. We’ll also be interviewing all of the artists for the show, so this will be a nice preview.

In this episode of Creativity Squared, Eric Solomon joins us to discuss how language shapes our reality, his approach to the human operating system, the promise and pitfalls of A.I., the importance of intentionality, and how we need to remember that machines are not human and we need to embrace human-to-human connection now more than ever.

Eric has worked at the intersection of psychology, brand-building, technology, and creativity for over 20 years. He has held marketing leadership positions for some of the top brands in the world including YouTube, Spotify, Google, and Instagram. He also served as the Chief Marketing Officer for Bonobos, a DTC e-retailer owned by Walmart. Eric entered the business world through the doors of academia, earning his Master’s and Ph.D. in cognitive psychology prior to leading research and strategy for award-winning creative agencies. He currently serves as the Founder and CEO of The Human OS™, a strategic advisory platform that Eric built from the ground up. 

Eric started his PhD program in 1999 exploring cognitive psychology with a focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. This is not only fascinating but was also really the early days of the application of language to this field.

To lay the foundation for ethical and responsible A.I. development, Eric suggests the necessity of an operating system. This operating system should address concerns such as understanding how A.I. systems work, involving diverse voices in the decision-making process, and establishing clear beliefs and behaviors with a clearly defined end goal of what we’re working towards — and purely profits isn’t what he wants to see. Without it, the path forward lacks direction, clarity, and purpose.

Building trust online and establishing authenticity, transparency, and ethical A.I. is a big task — and it’s one that Andy Parsons, the Senior Director of Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), is tackling head-on.

In this episode of Creativity Squared, Andy discusses the need for a future of verifiably authentic content of all kinds to combat disinformation. With collaborators across hardware (including brands like Leica Camera!), software, publishing, and social platforms, the CAI is empowering communicators, journalists, and artists with secure provenance. 

In addition to CAI, Andy explains the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), an initiative working on an open technical standard for content authenticity that’s adoption is needed now more than ever.

Through these standards, technology, and open source collaboration, Adobe is helping lead the way to restore trust and transparency to the media we experience. In this era where deep fakes blur the lines of reality and as we approach the 2024 elections in the U.S., this work is urgent. Andy strongly believes in media literacy and explains some of the ways Adobe is providing curriculum to students.

Andy also dives into Adobe's Firefly, a creative generative A.I. engine, and the company’s ethical approach to A.I. development. Democratizing creativity, Andy highlights how Firefly amplifies human potential and respects artists' rights, ensuring content authenticity from the outset. Discover the use cases for content credentials and when to consider opting in to use them, why, and how much information to reveal.

If bringing trust to media resonates with you, Andy’s main call to action is to get involved! This work is not done in a silo. We should all be active participants in the conversation and educate ourselves. He invites our listeners to join the CAI, engage with the community on Discord, and contribute to the mission of bringing trust to media. Helen, your Creativity Squared host, is a proud CAI member!

Andy also drops some tantalizing teases about Adobe features in the pipeline — enjoy!

Advertising Creative Director Phil Gable joins Creativity Squared for a laugh-out-loud, mostly PG-13 conversation that touches on the current state of the advertising industry, the dangers of censoring A.I., and examples of his absurd A.I.-created content. Spoiler: ChatGPT had a hard time nailing down a conversation between Alice Cooper and Jay Leno in iambic pentameter about wood! 

Phil has been working in advertising for 25 years. He started as a copywriter when the Internet was young, then moved onto Creative Director roles at some big agencies in New York and Atlanta as well as some smaller ones in the Midwest before setting out on his own. He’s currently freelancing as a Creative Director and Strategist for several agencies in New York City, and he also runs his own production company called Porcupine Armadillo which specializes in weird, low-budget comedy. 

Unsurprisingly then, Phil wants to keep A.I. absurd and sees it as a playground for creating bizarre content. A.I. tools are handy for him as a creative director when it comes to editing, efficiency, or finding a word; however, actual humans are still needed to create really good strategies and new ideas. A.I. can help us appreciate strange, chaotic things and Phil makes his case for being appointed czar of bizarreness by the U.S. government.\

Be prepared to laugh at his dark humor and wildly interesting takes on A.I. and humanity in this episode of Creativity Squared!

Have you ever wished you had a duplicate version of yourself? If the answer is yes, this episode with Jon Tota is for you!

Jon has spent his 25-year career at the forefront of all aspects of online digital media, including what we’ll be discussing on today’s episode which are photo realistic digital replicas of people using A.I. These are also known as digital doubles or twins, synthetic avatars, and people’s digital likeness. 

Jon started as a screenwriter in the early 90’s and then went on to design computer networks and trading systems for Wall Street firms. Jon co-founded Edulence in 2002 and launched Knowledgelink as one of the first video training platforms in 2004. Edulence was acquired in 2020 by ELB Learning to make Knowledgelink the Learning Management System for one of the most trusted brands in the Learning & Development space.

Fast forward to today, Jon creates immersive audio and learning content at Syntax + Motion which produces online courses, interactive video series, and podcast shows.

He’s also at the forefront of A.I. synthetic media as CEO of Render. Render provides Digital Likeness solutions for personal brand businesses, thought leaders, influencers, and business leaders who want to leverage their synthetic, A.I.-powered Likeness to communicate more effectively online and create audio and video content from anywhere without going on camera.

As a sponsor of this podcast, Render is going to be creating a digital replica of my image and likeness, and an accurate clone of my voice so I’ll be able to create hyper-realistic avatar content with ease later this summer and I couldn’t be more excited about it! 

We’ll also be bringing a content capture event to Cincinnati in October so sign up for our free newsletter at CreativitySquared.com to not miss out on any of the fun! 

In today’s conversation with Jon, you’ll discover what digital doubles are, their application use cases in our 2D world, the ethics around them, the power of prompting from a developer’s perspective, how ChatGPT can help writers, how A.I. can break down barriers of entry for people to pursue new creative outlets, and why Jon always starts with a script. Enjoy!

Joanna Peña-Bickley is an inventor and a design technologist known as the mother of Cognitive Experience Design. Named one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women, she’s been at the forefront of A.I. aided generative design, and has created her own framework with principles to ensure that A.I. enhances humans.

Born a dyslexic child in San Antonio, TX, a thread throughout Joanna’s unlikely career is crafting magical experiences whether it was inventing one of the first streaming video players for ABC or designing the first banking app on the Apple Watch for Citibank. She’s also designed the first smart mobility platform for General Motors, invented new ambient intelligent Alexa Devices for Amazon, and also reimagined the world's mobility for Uber.

A fan of science fiction and a Trekkie at heart, Joanna has always seen the link between fiction and invention. She’s bringing this to Sensory6, her new A.I. company focusing on making people more resilient through bio wearable technology and human digital twins. The company is on a mission to augment our intelligence and give us superpowers to adapt.

And in being unapologetically herself, she’s also an avid organizer and advocate for women and girls in design and tech. She co-founded Designed By Us, a cooperative dedicated to accelerating gender equity in S.T.E.A.M.D, which is Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, and Design education.

Joanna believes that we all have the power within us to design a better future, and A.I. needs infinite diversity and infinite combinations to bring its promise of an equitable future into fruition.

Hear how Joanna thinks about creativity and A.I., what shaped her career trajectory, her ethical framework, how we need to embrace – not ban A.I., the call for positive A.I. stories, and how she dares to design a better future, today.

––– On Realizing the Potential of Our Humanity 

I support the writers on strike.

It’s unacceptable that we live in a country where a company that made over $10B this quarter has writers, people who are indispensable to its industry, who are struggling to make ends meet. Where in 2021, the combined yearly pay for the top six Hollywood CEOs surpassed $770 million while pay for TV writers has fallen by 23% over the last decade.

This reality is a reflection of us. And if we want a different reality, one where creators thrive, where writers can fearlessly play with A.I., where people have equity and get paid fairly for the work they do, regardless of changes in distribution channels. Where new forms of expression and technology aren’t threats to art. Then we have to create it, together.

A.I. isn’t the problem. We are. And it’s on us to course correct. To choose people over profits.

Each and every person is inherently valuable and deserves the right to a decent life. 

If we are to realize the potential of our humanity, we have to collectively

CHANGE.

TO BELIEVE IT TO BE POSSIBLE.

TO BELIEVE A BETTER FUTURE IS TRULY POSSIBLE.

Do you believe it in your gut?

Then how will we get there?

Support artists. Especially trans artists. They’ll show us the way.

-Helen Todd

Chad Nelson is an award-winning creative director, technology strategist with over 25 years of expertise, and creative collaborator with OpenAI. He shared all things DALL·E including CRITTERZ, the first animated short film that is 100% designed using A.I.-generated visuals. He also gave us a sneak peek at his A.I. work that’s on the cover of Vogue Italia’s May 2023 edition with cover model Bella Hadid.

In our conversation with Chad, you’ll hear how collaborating with OpenAI DALL·E has changed the trajectory of his career and fuels his creativity. Listen to discover his creative process, what questions he’s thinking about related to A.I., and how he approaches prompts.

He understands the concerns around A.I. for artists and the need to be part of the conversation in order to build the future that we want. Chad’s intent with his A.I. art is to educate and inspire whether that’s through his Instagram account @dailydall.e or through CRITTERZ.

When it comes to visual artists and trailblazers at the forefront of collaborating with A.I., look no further than Chad who sees A.I. empowering him with superpowers to push his own output and creativity…and who never in his life imagined that his art would end up on a Vogue cover!

Jey Van-Sharp aka the “/Prompt Papi” joins Creativity Squared for a conversation that touches on everything from culture as data to imagineering and Beauty and The Beast. 

Jey, a Venezuelan kid raised in New York City, co-founded MyÜberLife Consulting Group. MÜLF is a global consultancy specializing in providing innovative solutions to help geniuses, creators, celebrities, executives, and companies navigate the complexities of modern business and achieve success in their endeavors.

He sees the current zeitgeist around artificial intelligence as either epicly optimistic or full of skepticism. However, there’s more than that.

We’re at the intersection of culture, creativity, commerce, and community in a new age of intelligence. When it comes to A.I., education and literacy are key in addition to A.I. tools and language everyday people can use. 

It’s also an exciting time where creatives now have the advantage and can use A.I. as a $160,000 assistant to iterate and amplify their work more. Creativity brings ideas to life, and Jey is all about manifesting positive change and bringing people together for a better world.

Jey’s focus when it comes to the implications of A.I. is how we can keep things safe and make people more productive, especially in his own communities. He also believes in looking inward and leaning into your creativity. His advice to creatives: Don’t get overwhelmed by the uncertainty and fast-speed at which this technology is coming. Lean into the uncertainty and your creativity. 

And most interestingly: Can A.I. Walt Disney write a business plan? Find out!

Meet Harry Yeff, a London-born neuro-divergent artist and technologist specializing in voice and the expression of voice across disciplines, contexts, technology, and media. While his research in human and A.I. collaboration started in 2016, Harry has a lifelong obsession with self-improvement and with the evolution of the human voice, and how far he can push his own.

With over 100M views on YouTube, his accolades are many and include being a world-renowned beatboxer and a guest lecturer at Harvard University. 

In the interview, Harry shares how he collaborates with companies like Bell Labs and trained their A.I. machines with his vocals to then beatbox with his “second self.” We also explore his digital VOICE GEMS project, how he sees art as ceremony for the human spirit, and so many more fascinating insights into his creative process with artificial intelligence.

Harry’s been visualizing voice for over 15 years and when it comes to pioneers in creativity and A.I., Harry is at the forefront of voice, conversation, and how this technology can help us become more human.
