A.I., the writers’ strike, and a crisis of imagination — Sara Horowitz, a lifelong mutualist, shares how we can build the future we want with mutualism. Sara is the founder of the Freelancers Union and the Freelancers Insurance Company. A labor lawyer, former chair of the board of the New York Federal Reserve, and recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, Sara has been featured on NPR, and in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic, among other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and daughter.Sara is currently working to build the Mutualist Society. She is also the author of the book Mutualism and writes about how we need to build our next safety net in America through the local organizations we know and trust. Mutualism exists in 4 principal areas: unions, cooperatives, mutual aid groups, and faith-based institutions, which we’ll explore more in this episode.Her vision and tenacity to organize and build the world she wants to live in is admirable. She’s truly a visionary thinker when it comes to the economy, labor, and societal change.Her community-oriented approach stems from her grandparents, who were garment workers in the 1920s, and from her grandfather, who helped organize and was vice president of the Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. In today’s episode, you’ll learn more about the historical context of labor movements and how they relate to today’s culture, including the current writers' and actors’ strikes. Sara shares her thoughts on the future of technology, including A.I. and DAOs (or decentralized autonomous organizations), and how we can harness this technology from a mutualistic approach that centers on collectivism, community, and building collaboratively. Explore Sara’s vision of embracing a mutualistic future that can bring about positive societal change and a better way forward.EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep15-sara-horowitz-build-the-a-i-future-we-want-with-mutualism   JOIN CREATIVITY SQUAREDSign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters SUBSCRIBESubscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1CONNECT with C^2https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcasthttps://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcasthttps://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquaredhttps://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquaredhttps://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast#CreativitySquaredCONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2https://instagram.com/helenstravelshttps://twitter.com/helenstravelshttps://linkedin.com/in/helentoddhttps://pinterest.com/helentoddCreativity 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.This show is produced and made possible by the team at PLAY Audio Agency: https://playaudioagency.com.Creativity Squared is brought to you by Sociality Squared, a social media agency who understands the magic of bringing people together around what they value and love: http://socialitysquared.com. #FreelancersUnion #WritersStrike #WGAStrike #WGAStrong #FreelanceIsntFree #SAGStrike #Freelance #FreelanceLife #Freelancing #WritersCommunity #Soloprenuer #FreelanceProtection #DoTheWriteThing #Mutualism #LaborMovement #AI #WritersOfInstagram #ArtificialIntelligence #ArtificialIntelligenceAI #ArtificialIntelligenceTechnology #MachineLearning #FutureTechnology #FutureTech #TheFutureIsNow #TechPodcast #AICopywriting #AIPodcast #AINews #ArtificalIntelligence #ArtificialIntelligenceAI

Ever wanted to clone yourself? Now you can! Enter A.I.-created synthetic media beyond deepfakes. In this special episode of Creativity Squared, you’ll meet Helen 2.ODD, our host Helen Todd’s custom synthetic avatar, and learn how "she" was made.You read that right — Helen digitally cloned herself! And now there are two of her: the human Helen and her digital double Helen 2.ODD. It’s important to know that Helen 2.ODD isn’t a deepfake, because Helen owns all of the IP associated with “her.”The digital avatar market is projected to be $270 billion by 2030, and custom synthetic avatars are part of this market alongside stock avatars. It’s no surprise since this new form of media can do things humans can’t do, like create multiple videos simultaneously and often speak more languages than their human counterparts do. Helen can only speak English whereas Helen 2.ODD can currently speak eight languages. Render, Creativity Squared partner and sponsor, captured Helen’s visual likeness, cloned her voice, and using their AI-integrating application, generated Helen 2.ODD, a hyper-realistic avatar.There are less than a thousand known custom synthetic avatars in existence. This groundbreaking A.I. technology can help anyone who has a lot of content that they want to bring alive in video without going on camera, from business owners to educators to influencers.Visit https://CreativitySquared.com or the Creativity Squared YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/YouTubeC2) or search #Helen2ODD to see how photo-realistic Helen 2.ODD is. Creativity Squared is collaborating with our partner and sponsor Render to bring their avatar experience to Cincinnati, OH, on October 25 and 26, so anyone can digitally clone themselves as well.

Will A.I. kill photography? A.I.-generated images are reshaping politics, international relations, journalism, and beauty standards. But what about the impact on professional photographers? For German photographer Thomas Boenig, photography is a force that fuels his existence. Based in Nuremberg, Germany, Thomas is a freelance commercial and Leica street photographer. His clients range from Adidas, Puma, and Tesla to Universal Music. Thomas and Helen met back in 2012 in New York City when he was doing a project for Leica Camera capturing “decisive moments” with his Leica M9. Thomas is not only talented but also genuine and authentic which comes through in his striking photography, especially his portraits.Listen to the conversation as we discuss Thomas’s first encounter with A.I. art on MidJourney, what he sees as threats from A.I. on the photography industry, and what aspects on set can never be replaced. You’ll learn how skateboarding and his Leica rangefinder helped shape his commercial photography. We also cover his appreciation for beautiful imperfections, why he loves the craft so much, and his hopes for photography in the years to come.Don't miss this insightful, honest, and, at times, heartwrenching conversation on the future of photography and the evolving relationship between artists and technology. EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep10-thomas-boenig-will-a-i-kill-photography/  JOIN CREATIVITY SQUAREDSign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters SUBSCRIBESubscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1CONNECT with C^2https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcasthttps://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcasthttps://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquaredhttps://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquaredhttps://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast#CreativitySquaredCONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2https://instagram.com/helenstravelshttps://twitter.com/helenstravelshttps://linkedin.com/in/helentoddhttps://pinterest.com/helentoddCreativity 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.This show is produced and made possible by the team at PLAY Audio Agency: https://playaudioagency.com.Creativity Squared is brought to you by Sociality Squared, a social media agency who understands the magic of bringing people together around what they value and love: http://socialitysquared.com. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ArtificialIntelligenceAI #ArtificialIntelligenceNow #Photography #AIPhotography #AIPhoto #ArtificialIntelligenceTechnology #ArtificialIntelligence #LeicaPhotographer #MachineLearning #FutureTechnology #FutureTech #TheFutureIsNow #DeepLearning  #NaturalLanguageProcessing #AIandCulture #AINews #Innovation #Creativity #Creatives #AIArtist #ArtificialIntelligenceArt #DigitalCreativity #AIArt #ArtificialIntelligenceArt #MidJourneyArt #AIArtCommunity #AIArtwork

In this episode of Creativity Squared, Eric Solomon joins us to discuss how language shapes our reality, his approach to the human operating system, the promise and pitfalls of A.I., the importance of intentionality, and how we need to remember that machines are not human and we need to embrace human-to-human connection now more than ever.Eric has worked at the intersection of psychology, brand-building, technology, and creativity for over 20 years. He has held marketing leadership positions for some of the top brands in the world including YouTube, Spotify, Google, and Instagram. He also served as the Chief Marketing Officer for Bonobos, a DTC e-retailer owned by Walmart. Eric entered the business world through the doors of academia, earning his Master’s and Ph.D. in cognitive psychology prior to leading research and strategy for award-winning creative agencies. He currently serves as the Founder and CEO of The Human OS™, a strategic advisory platform that Eric built from the ground up. Eric started his PhD program in 1999 exploring cognitive psychology with a focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. This is not only fascinating but was also really the early days of the application of language to this field.To lay the foundation for ethical and responsible A.I. development, Eric suggests the necessity of an operating system. This operating system should address concerns such as understanding how A.I. systems work, involving diverse voices in the decision-making process, and establishing clear beliefs and behaviors with a clearly defined end goal of what we’re working towards — and purely profits isn’t what he wants to see. Without it, the path forward lacks direction, clarity, and purpose.EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep8-eric-solomon-a-i-will-never-be-human/  JOIN CREATIVITY SQUAREDSign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters SUBSCRIBESubscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1CONNECT with C^2https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcasthttps://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcasthttps://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquaredhttps://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquaredhttps://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast#CreativitySquaredCONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2https://instagram.com/helenstravelshttps://twitter.com/helenstravelshttps://linkedin.com/in/helentoddhttps://pinterest.com/helentoddCreativity 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.This show is produced and made possible by the team at PLAY Audio Agency: https://playaudioagency.com.Creativity Squared is brought to you by Sociality Squared, a social media agency who understands the magic of bringing people together around what they value and love: http://socialitysquared.com. #Entertainment #LanguageModels #ArtificialIntelligence #AItechnology #DeepLearning #MachineLearning #GenerativeModels #NeuralNetworks #NaturalLanguageProcessing #ConversationalAgents #AIChatbot #VoiceTechnology #DigitalCreativity #AI #ChatGPT #Innovation #Creativity #Creators #ArtificialIntelligenceArt #ContentCreation #Artists #ContentCreators #Creatives #OpenAI #NFTs #NFTcollector #MyÜberLife #CulturalIntelligence #MarketingStrategy #Equity #EquitableTechnology #PromptsAreIP #BusinessCulture #BigData #Culture #AIandCulture #PromptPapi #CultureIsData #midjourney #openai #dalle #aiart

Building trust online and establishing authenticity, transparency, and ethical A.I. is a big task — and it’s one that Andy Parsons, the Senior Director of Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), is tackling head-on.In this episode of Creativity Squared, Andy discusses the need for a future of verifiably authentic content of all kinds to combat disinformation. With collaborators across hardware (including brands like Leica Camera!), software, publishing, and social platforms, the CAI is empowering communicators, journalists, and artists with secure provenance. In addition to CAI, Andy explains the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), an initiative working on an open technical standard for content authenticity that’s adoption is needed now more than ever.Through these standards, technology, and open source collaboration, Adobe is helping lead the way to restore trust and transparency to the media we experience. In this era where deep fakes blur the lines of reality and as we approach the 2024 elections in the U.S., this work is urgent. Andy strongly believes in media literacy and explains some of the ways Adobe is providing curriculum to students.Andy also dives into Adobe's Firefly, a creative generative A.I. engine, and the company’s ethical approach to A.I. development. Democratizing creativity, Andy highlights how Firefly amplifies human potential and respects artists' rights, ensuring content authenticity from the outset. Discover the use cases for content credentials and when to consider opting in to use them, why, and how much information to reveal.If bringing trust to media resonates with you, Andy’s main call to action is to get involved!
