Discover the magic of manifesting in a Creativity Squared exclusive interview from the ONLY comedian (and one of two artists!) who's a Time100 AI 2024 honoree in the Innovators category: King Willonius.

With a front-row seat to the future, meet Taryn Southern, a creative technologist, pioneering artist, strategist, and speaker whose work explores the intersection of emerging technology and human potential.  As an early content creator, she uploaded her first video to YouTube in 2007 — and it went viral. Ten years and 750 million views later, Taryn has produced more than 1,500 pieces of digital content for networks like Conde Naste, The Today Show, MTV, Snapchat, and Maker Studios. She's written for Business Insider and TechCrunch, and served as a host for Discovery Channel's #1 late night show. A three-time Streamy Awards nominee, her work has been featured in Billboard, Fast Company, Wired, Vanity Fair, Harvard Business Review, and more. Fast-forward to 2017, Taryn released the world's first A.I.-composed pop album, then in 2019, directed and produced a Tribeca award-winning documentary on the future of A.I. and the human brain, followed by creating an award-winning Google VR series. In 2020, she became one of the earliest content creators to create an A.I.-avatar of herself.  Since 2021, Taryn has served as Chief Storyteller at a leading implantable neurotechnology company, where she launched the world's first Brain Computer Interface museum and oversaw a communications strategy for two successful funding rounds totaling over $230M+. She is passionate about helping people use A.I. and emerging tech to amplify creativity and wellbeing.  Today's conversation explores the evolution of A.I.-assisted creativity, from Taryn's groundbreaking A.I.-composed album to her current meditative album in development that celebrates the human experience. We dive into her work deconstructing storytelling taxonomy and building custom A.I. tools, while examining how world-building, immersive experiences, and storytelling are transforming through emerging technologies.  Taryn also shares her fascinating work with brain-computer interfaces and her vision for how technology might reshape our physical and digital worlds. From questioning our relationship with productivity to contemplating a future with more "spaciousness," this episode offers fresh perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. What are Taryn's predictions about the future and why will she be one of the first in line for a humanoid robot? Listen in to find out — enjoy!

From early digital media pioneer to mental health advocate for creators, meet Shira Lazar. Shira revolutionized web-first news in 2011 with "What's Trending," predating the creator economy as we know it today. She recognized the power of digital culture before most, becoming a go-to voice for emerging online communities and viral moments when traditional media wasn't paying attention. Through advocacy work, her weekly newsletter The Alpha, and speaking engagements on stages like SXSW, VeeCon, and CES, Shira continues to shape how we think about technology's impact on creators and society. As an Emmy-nominated digital culture trailblazer, one of Fast Company's Most Influential Women in Technology, and on Variety's Women of Impact list, Shira has spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, media, and human connection. Her journey from broadcaster to digital innovator led her to an even more crucial mission — supporting creator wellbeing through co-founding Peace Inside Live, a wellness agency and collective. This work led to launching the Creators 4 Mental Health initiative which is focused on bringing mental health tools to the creator economy through events and community programming. One question we dive into: Are A.I. creators making money? And do they have the tools to set themselves up for success in their careers? Today, you'll hear Shira's unique perspective on the evolution of the creator economy, from the early days of YouTube stars to the current A.I. revolution. She shares invaluable insights on creator sustainability, mental health, and building a more mindful digital future.

Grateful Dead fans, lovers of lyrics, and those curious about A.I.'s interpretation of art, you're in for a treat because today's episode invites you to explore human intelligence versus artificial intelligence through the analysis of the Grateful Dead song "Ripple" with Creativity Squared resident writer and philosopher, Jason Schneider.  From reciting poems to thinking deeply about consciousness and art, Jason 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. He is currently writing a book with the working title “Understanding Emily Dickinson: A Reader's Guide To The Enlightened Master.” In our conversation, we discuss this piece where he compares his human analysis of this transcendent song based on the poem by Robert Hunter to ChatGPT's. Jason then put the article through ChatGPT for an opinion piece on the full article while the team did the same with NotebookLM, which gets meta quicker than a ChatGPT-prompted answer! And it wouldn't be a conversation with Jason without some Emily Dickinson either, and you won't want to miss how Jason sees the Grateful Dead and the poet's similarities.  Discover why “Ripple” remains a timeless meditation on life's most profound questions, including the limitations of human consciousness itself — enjoy!  EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep72-jason-schneider-a-i-the-grateful-dead JOIN CREATIVITY SQUARED Sign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter  Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters  SUBSCRIBE Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1 CONNECT with C^2 https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcast https://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcast https://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquared https://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquared https://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast #CreativitySquared CONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2 https://instagram.com/helenstravels https://twitter.com/helenstravels https://linkedin.com/in/helentodd https://pinterest.com/helentodd Creativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform.  Because it's important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 100 arts organizations.

It's not every day that you have the honor of meeting a national treasure who is creating new art genres and movements to help us expand our imagination and stretch our understanding of what's possible. First inspired by Marvel and DC comics in his youth, Dr. Walter D. Greason is the distinguished DeWitt Wallace Professor in the Department of History at Macalester College.  Wondering why there weren't Black people in the futures presented in classic sci-fi stories, Walter became one of the founders of Afrofuturism, a new lens to re-imagine a tomorrow that's inclusive for all. He also gave the world the “Wakanda Syllabus” and helped bring the fictional city of Wakanda to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Blank Panther blockbuster films! Named one of “Today's Black History Makers” by The Philadelphia Daily News, Walter is an educator, historian, media ecologist, economist, and urbanist all in one who has authored eighteen books on democracy, capitalism, and digital economies in the world today. His latest book and Amazon bestseller, “The Graphic History of Hip-Hop,” is a graphic novel and scholastic experience charting the evolution of the genre Hand its myriad impacts on culture and society. With such a deep wealth of wisdom on the power of art, especially in today's infinite, digital landscape, combined with his understanding of the transformations shaping our society and culture both at a macro level and down to a personal one, it's an honor to have Walter on the show. This is a conversation to revisit as we explore some of the most pressing topics of our time as we transition from the Information Age to the Imagination Age. Today's conversation spans a wide array of topics, from the mythological power of comics to Walter's perspective on the current state of democracy and the world as we transition to digital capitalism, opening up new avenues for economic freedom. Walter also shares what co-powering is, along with a snapshot of the current media landscape in the age of genAI, the convergence of mediums, and the counter-convergence backlash we're seeing globally. With expertise in Black Speculative Arts, the racial wealth gap, and patterns of economic globalization, Walter shares new frameworks to help us re-imagine the future as well as our relationships with time and each other. In a world that can be overwhelming, listen in as Walter provides answers and shows what's possible when we break free of current narratives and give ourselves the time, love, and permission to dream about what's possible — enjoy!

From innovating custom A.I. solutions in advertising since 2016 to revolutionizing how brands create content at the speed of culture, meet Dustin Callif. As President of Tool, a creative production partner based in Santa Monica, Dustin leads a team that blends traditional filmmaking with cutting-edge A.I. technology to create groundbreaking commercial content for some of the world's most recognized brands, like Toyota, T-Mobile, and Coca-Cola. He is also responsible for founding Tool's Experience group, which has been at the forefront of experiential design and creative technology.   On stages at conferences like MAICON, SXSW, and Cannes Advertising Festival, he shares Tool's approach to developing their evolved creative production model, providing unique solutions for brands, including training A.I. on a brand's owned assets. In today's conversation, you'll hear how Tool is pushing the boundaries of A.I. in advertising while maintaining high creative standards and commercial viability through their campaign work in addition to workflow and content pipeline optimization. Dustin shares impressive case studies, including how they created a television commercial for Under Armour in four weeks without the actual talent, all enabled by A.I. and traditional post-production editing. Another one is an innovative approach of creating modular content for Starburst that is different every time for the viewer, deploying what he calls “A.I. Style Transfer.” Not only does Tool put A.I. to work, but they also identify world-class A.I. talent, matching directors, like Creativity Squared guest Nem Perez, with innovative agencies and brands. We also discuss the evolving legal landscape around A.I.-generated content for brands.

I met Kaila at MidwestCon after her keynote presentation titled "Rhythm and Bytes," and you're in for a treat today as we dive into her go-getter and innovative mind. She's a forward-thinker who's vocal about the potential of A.I. to revolutionize the music industry and propel artists beyond streaming into new opportunities to connect with and provide experiences to their fans. In our conversation, you'll hear Kaila's journey from creating her first A.I. bot to developing A.I. education programs to empower musicians. We explore her views on the future of music NFTs, the ethical considerations of A.I. in creative industries, and her vision for new revenue models that benefit artists in the A.I. era. From hip-hop to high-tech, join us as Kaila shares her passion for music, technology, and humanity, all the while maintaining her roots as the "A.I.

Are creativity and freedom inextricably linked? In today's episode, Creativity Squared host Helen Todd answers a listener's question on the relationship between freedom and constraints in the creative process. As we enter the Imagination Age, please accept this as your invitation to play in the playground of possibility. Exploring this brave new world requires nuanced conversations around what it means to be human and what this collective future we're co-authoring together looks and feels like. We need human creativity and imagination now more than ever to break free from the patterns of the past that no longer serve us. And that's why we're diving into this listener question.     In this episode, we'll explore: Does creativity flourish more with scarcity or with freedom? Can A.I. or GenAI match human creativity? How are artists collaborating with personal language models? What does Burning Man have to do with this? Tune in now to gain valuable insights as Helen reflects on thought-provoking conversations with previous Creativity Squared guests Harry Yeff (Episode 1), Jason Schneider (Episode 23), Martin Groedl and Moritz Resl (Episode 32), Claire Silver (Episode 34), Yemi A.D. (Episode 49), and Lori Mazor (Episode 52). What are your reactions, thoughts, comments and/or questions on this topic or any other at the intersection of A.I. and creativity?

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.

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!
