It’s been fascinating to see the response to Ben Affleck’s comments on the future of generative AI in Hollywood. While I deeply respect his perspective and the thoughtful way he communicated his ideas, I couldn’t help but wonder why so many people were so moved by his take. It seemed to resonate with Hollywood in a way AI conversations haven’t before, even though it didn’t feel like he was adding anything particularly novel to the conversation. This isn’t about invalidating those who found his insights compelling- I also appreciated his level of nuance. But it also felt like he was only telling half the story; his perspective wasn’t being contextualized, which paints a very different picture. Don’t get me wrong- I’m genuinely glad he’s stepping forward to bring these conversations into the mainstream. He has a remarkable ability to engage people on challenging topics in a way that resonates, and that’s an invaluable skill we’re fortunate to have on our side. But while we celebrate people like Ben Affleck, I think we need to remember to also recognize that disruption to his career *will* look very different from what disruption means for the vast majority of us in this industry. We don’t risk further divide by acknowledging these differences, quite the opposite I think. By simply acknowledging the underlying truth here, we can better guide the conversation to be more honest and truly address the needs of everyone. #BenAffleck #Creativity #AIinHollywood #GenerativeAI #FutureofStorytelling #CreativeInnovation

Ever wonder how generative AI systems perpetuate harmful stereotypes about historically excluded groups? In this week's Hustle Crew newsletter we took a deep dive into the research, so you don't have to. Recent research into generative artificial intelligence images has proven that generative AI actively repeats racial stereotypes. In one study reported in Lancet, researchers asked the bot to produce images of Black doctors: all they produced were images of white men in African outfits. If you're leaning on AI to make critical decisions in your company, consider how you can ensure bias doesn't creep in and harm your long-term inclusion goals.

Fascinating video on identity & growth! [X] As a philosopher, the initial question that struck me was: "What would you say to your younger self?" This AI-powered video explores themes of identity, growth, and regret in such a unique way. But here's a philosophical twist: What if we flipped the script? Imagine your younger self, brimming with hopes and dreams, encountering you today. ✨ The years have unfolded, leaving experiences etched on your face. ⏳ Their eyes meet yours, reflecting a lifetime of unspoken questions. Then, a simple yet profound question hangs in the air: "How are you?"
