In our debut episode, we explore the impact of new innovations in generative AI on the Arts. What does it mean to be an artist in the age of AI? How is AI changing arts industries? What is the history of new technologies impacting artistic practice? There's plenty to worry about with AI, but is there anything to be excited about? USC Professor Holly Willis and artist Nancy Baker Cahill weigh in. Arts Talk is hosted by Josh Kun, USC Vice Provost for the Arts and USC

Annenberg Professor and Chair in Cross Cultural Communication at the

University of Southern California. Arts Talk is produced by Perry B.

Johnson, with sound design, editing and mixing by Matteah Baim.
