Okay, the first question is,
could you give us a brief summary of your presentation?
Yeah
So I came here today to talk about Moon Valley and Asteria,
kind of the combined companies that form
what we feel is the most unique and interesting use of AI
and filmmaking and visual intelligence
And so Moon Valley as the umbrella company
focuses on visual intelligence research at a broad level,
and then Asteria is sort of the media and entertainment focused filmmaking arm of that venture
And so our goal is to be a bridge between
the technology and the researchers who make incredible AI come to life,
and the filmmaking community, which is apprehensive
and can be nervous about the future that AI might bring to the industry
And so we're here to facilitate a dialogue between those two sides,
and find a way that filmmaking can remain exciting, creative, and expressive
and represents an ethical path forward in this moment
How do you feel being here at the event?
Yeah, I mean, it's great to be here amongst other brilliant technologists and creatives
And I think like I mentioned at the end of the presentation,
I think Korea is becoming such a driving force of culture in the world
Certainly, in the US, we're finding more and more crossover
and how our culture admires what kind of
how music and film is reflected here
And so to see so many incredible people
be at the forefront of the dialogue around how this technology
is going to impact those industries and entertainment,
I think is really exciting
And it certainly, you know, I think
bodes well for the future of the creative economy here in Korea
As you look at the present era,
was there ever a moment when you thought
this is truly a new kind of movement or a completely new flow?
Yeah, so I've been following technology
kind of in creative industries for a decade and a half,
and I've seen a lot of them kind of promise,
this radical transformation in how we consume things,
whether it was immersive or a metaversal context or interactive
I think there's something completely different
in the scale and magnitude of this moment with generative AI
I think that it is creating
a much more accessible means of filmmaking
and liberating the filmmaking process at a time that it needs it most
I think we're seeing how other forces are impacting the creation of films
you know, the battle for attention
from mobile devices and social media platforms
and how cost-effective it is to make that
I think filmmaking needs that same kind of ethos imbued into it
and breaking some of the patterns of inefficient creation
And so, yeah, that's what I think this moment does
This generative AI brings to this moment
in a way that I've never seen or witnessed before
And when I saw the opportunity emerging,
I felt it was time to go all in
And I think that anyone that's looking at this moment from the sidelines.
I recommend stepping in and really acquainting yourself with the technology
because this is a truly revolutionary moment
This is more significant than the internet
This will be remembered as
one of the most significant breakthroughs in humanity's history
And so, try to find a place to be on the right side of that,
try to find a place to be fluent in the technology
I think those are sort of it's incumbent on us as people
that even if you're afraid of it
to learn about it and see how it's going to impact your life
Next question is,
as AI and humans create together, and as technology and emotion intertwine,
how do you think that content industry or the creative stage will evolve?
And within that, what role do you think humans will play?
Can you ask the first part of that question again? Sorry
Oh, as AI and human create together, and as technology and emotion intertwine,
how do you think the content industry and the creative stage will evolve?
And within that, what role do you think humans will play?
Yeah
So, I think you're going to see an explosion of
I mean, we call it slop
but I think you're going to see an explosion of things
that look and feel expensive but are missing heart and story
and the things that sort of make us as humans
connect with media, all the way back to oral history to the present
And so, I think what's going to be most important in this moment, in this interaction,
is actually helping to find and curate the voices
that represent that abstract concept
that the machine doesn't give us by itself
It can create images,
but it can't conjure emotion to the same extent that we as humans do
And so, I think it's about using it for what it's best at,
which is creating images and moving pixels
and doing really interesting dynamic things
But I think it's going to be more important than ever
to also elevate the role of the best storytellers and visionaries
And I certainly think that
this is going to give a lot of underrepresented voices
an opportunity to be heard in that way
And so, I think curation is going to become more and more important in this future
as these technologies collide with kind of our human experience
This is the last question
So, if you could leave one sentence for the people here today, or the future creators,
what would it be?
One sentence?
Yeah
If you want one second, you can...
Yeah, I'm trying to think
Don't be afraid of the unknown
This technology is here,
and I think there's a way for everybody to benefit from it
So, dive in, find a way that you can grow your ambitions from it,
and that's the best way to look at it, I think
