Welcome to episode 138 of the AI for Career Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content is designed to give working professionals who leverage AI as a tool for efficiency and productivity a competitive edge.

In this episode, hosts Daphne and Fred unpack a December 11 article from show producer Curt Robbins about the significant news that Disney plans to invest $1 billion in OpenAI while also becoming a major content licensing partner for OpenAI's video generation model, Sora.

This investment from the "House of Mouse" is analyzed as a major vote of confidence in artificial intelligence (AI), even as it raises concerns previously voiced during the Hollywood strikes regarding AI's impact on labor.

This episode points out that Disney aims to ensure its intellectual property (IP) remains central to the growing trend of image and video creation, seeking recompense for its use while leveraging the upside of AI growth. Ultimately, the discussion considers the inevitability of generative AI in production, noting that human creativity is still necessary for developing iconic IP, even as companies increasingly integrate AI tools.
