What are the most important insights right now about the intersection of AI and entertainment?
A few months ago I was part of a panel at the AI Summer Summit by Digital Hollywood—a three-day event with over 50 panels and 40+ hours of content. Far too much to catch it all.
So, I set Reid AI up for a new experiment to have the AI “collapse time.” I asked Reid AI to “watch” every session, analyze it, and share the top five takeaways.
What you’ll see in the video below is Reid AI offering a glimpse into how these tools are reshaping the industry—and what the future may look like. It includes clips from the conference, as well as some additional thoughts from me.
Check out the video for highlights—and let me know what you think! 👇 [LinkedIn]

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, December 9th, 2024. Lots of turmoil in Syria recently. Let’s hope it becomes a Democracy before Israel’s invasion destroys this nation as well as they did to Gaza & West Bank in Palestine, Lebanon, and potentially someday in Iran. We need Syria to become a Democracy now that Assad flew to Russia.
