AI in Hollywood, with Toonstar's John Attanasio and Luisa Huang
Welcome to AI-Curious, a podcast that explores the good, the bad, and the creepy of artificial intelligence. For the debut episode, I'll introduce the conceit of the show, and then we'll speak to some Hollywood producers who are pioneers of using AI: the cofounders of Toonstar Studios, CEO John Attanasio and COO Luisa Huang.John and Luisa bring a somewhat unique perspective of AI in Hollywood. For years, they've used AI *not* to replace writers and actors... but instead to speed up production and build communities. They share first how AI helped lower the barriers to entry for animation (5:30), then how their shows and franchises (The Gimmicks, Space Junk, Fortun3) have embraced AI (11:10), how they think about using AI ethically and responsibly (30:00), their thoughts on the writers and actors strike and a possible way forward (37:30), and finally some ideas of what AI in Hollywood could look like in the future (44:30).Stay Connected:• 🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://x.com/jeffwilser• 💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwilser/• 🖥️ JeffWilser.comwww.JeffWilser.com🎧 Subscribe to AI-Curious:• Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-curious-with-jeff-wilser/id1703130308• Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/70a9Xbhu5XQ47YOgVTE44Q?si=c31e2c02d8b64f1b• YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@jeffwilser
