The Future of Filmmaking in the Age of AI

In Episode 250 of the AI/XR Podcast, Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz are joined by Bilawal Sidhu, former Google Maps PM, TED AI curator, and generative AI media pioneer. The hosts discuss Trump’s executive orders on AI and censorship, South Park's viral Trump satire, and the emerging ethics of deep fakes. Sidhu shares his journey from Flash animations at age 7 to working on immersive Google Earth VR and launching Google Maps' Immersive View. He reflects on the future of agentic AI, spatial computing, and whether 3D interfaces will ever go mainstream. The conversation veers into synthetic media’s gray goo problem, TikTok addiction, and the possibility of personalized AI podcasts. With a mix of philosophy, tech nerdery, and cultural commentary, this episode marks a milestone with one of the most articulate voices in cinematic AI.
