Will AI Devour Hollywood, with LionTree's Alex Michael

As part of a Kindred Research Report, LionTree’s Co-Head of Growth Alex Michael sits with Kindred Media’s Laura Clinton to discuss the implications of AI for content creators. While Artificial Intelligence technology could theoretically disrupt every industry in the modern economy, nowhere are these concerns more palpable than in Hollywood. 

Alex, dubbed one of Variety's 2022 top dealmakers, provides a unique perspective on these thorny issues. The pair chat about the opportunities and dangers of integrating AI into the media industry; AI’s role in the recently resolved WGA strike (as well as the ongoing SAG work stoppage); how media studios are approaching the AI boom; the evolution of the streaming business model; and what it takes to create powerful stories.
