Taryn Southern: From beating cancer to changing the human brain
Taryn Southern is an AI Researcher, documentary film director, performer and content creator with 700 million views across her videos. She was the first person in the world to produce an entire album with artificial intelligence, and recently directed the documentary, ‘I am Human’ that just premiered at Tribeca Film Festival.

The ‘New York Times article’ that threw Taryn into producing the very first ‘AI made’ music album in the world!
The #1 way to connect with your audience on a deep level and make them EAGER to hear what you have to say (it’s very simple, but please don’t overlook it)
How Taryn was able to successfully sell her new show to Directv after just 5 months of ‘officially’ starting off her career (and you won’t believe what the theme of the show was about!)
The exact moment that kickstarted Taryn’s Youtube journey and allowed her to reach the 700 million views she has today
