Technology, AI & the Future of Innovation
a founder, innovating and creating tools for creatives. Building and running a company that can facilitate and make all those stories possible. Kamil: How does being a known actor help you step into completely new areas, like creating an AI startup? Does it open doors, or do people tend to focus more on your movie history than the projects you want to present? Osric: I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of people in so many different fields, so it’s helped with warm introductions and picking up conversations with peo- ple who are usually surprised at how deep down the AI rabbit hole I’ve gone. For the most part it gives you an icebreaker, so- mewhere to start the conversation, but that can only take me so far, so after that it’s all merit. Kamil: Do you see a potential danger that in the future AI could produce its own movies, create AI-driven celebrity actors using user preference data, and generate content that goes more viral than traditional films? Osric: It will happen. But at the end of the day, unless AI has completely taken over (at which point it won’t matter anyways), there will still be a human of some kind at the beginning of that AI product. The ability to direct and delegate all the AI agents and tools to create a cohesive product or something meaningful to other humans is still going to be a skillset in itself. Traditional films I think will always have a place. Stage plays are still around, some still thriving. They’ll just be more variety and maybe a new dominant player in society.
“ Stereotypes all come from some grain of truth, so rather than avoiding them altogether, it’s more helpful to go deeper, and take the time and effort to understand people beyond that. ”
