The hosts Tam and B discuss artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on creators and the entertainment industry, focusing on the current Hollywood strikes and the role of AI. They explore whether AI is a threat or an opportunity, copyright issues, predictions for the strikes, and more.

Insights

* The Hollywood strikes are happening because writers and actors want better pay, profit sharing, and restrictions on AI that could replace their work.

* AI has potential to improve efficiencies in entertainment but also raises concerns about copyright issues as models may mimic creative work.

* Whoever figures out how to create the first trusted AI app store may become the winner in AI.

* YouTube is as much a threat to actors as AI, providing content people want with revenue sharing.

* The writers and actors guilds should leverage AI to protect members rather than seeing it as a threat.

The Takeaways:

* Entertainment companies should bring creators into conversations about AI and find an amicable path forward.

* There are opportunities for a new class of creators by embracing AI tools and platforms like YouTube.

* Entertainers outside the Hollywood system have as much ability to leverage AI for their benefit as those within it.

It’s a bit crazy to think that one year ago today, we dropped the Drops Podcast. A year later, we have had incredible conversations with some of the world’s leading product and technical experts, landed on Spotify’s Top 25% most shared podcasts globally for 2022, and amassed over 50,000 downloads.

It’s been an incredible ride, and we look forward to many more incredible milestones.

This month we are back talking about some of the most exciting topics in tech and what we think about them.
