I'm an art director and photo editor. I'm a mentor, a teacher, a writer, and a public speaker. Just like you, I’ve been increasingly curious about the conversations surrounding creativity and artificial intelligence. I wonder about the impact it will have on my career in the creative industry. I created THE GRAIN to be a platform for meaningful dialogue with critical thinkers, and to share them with you. Leave your comments or write me at ronit@thegrain.ai.
Here are some newsworthy insights I’ve recently shared about the impact of artificial intelligence on our creative industry: Takeaways from the Canadian government backtracking on using generative AI to promote a birthday bash, my own impressions from watching the controversial movie The Last Screenwriter, and how the battles over copyright in AI music programs should be sorted out soon enough.
