If you work in film, television, or streaming, this
episode is the one I need you to listen to today. This is
the full introduction to my new book, How to Survive
Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood, and I wrote it for you.
Not for lawyers. Not for academics. For the working producer,
director, showrunner, actor, writer, agent, manager, and studio
executive trying to make smart decisions about AI on a real
project, on a real set, with real money on the line. Here's the
truth nobody is saying out loud.
The AI rules in this industry are being written right now, in
courtrooms, in union halls, in state capitols, and on the set you
walk onto tomorrow morning. The people who understand those rules
are going to make the next decade of film and television. The
people who don't are going to learn the hard way, through lawsuits,
lost copyrights, killed distribution deals, and union grievances
they never saw coming. This book changes that. The introduction
tells you exactly why I wrote it, who it's for, and what you're
going to walk away with after twenty chapters.
Press play. Consider what you hear. If the message resonates with
you, text it to one person you work with who needs to hear it.
That's how we move an industry forward, one conversation at a time.
