Prepare for your mind to be blown. If you aren't familiar with so-called "synthetic media," you need to be. Synthetic media in all its forms - AI-driven digital humans, virtual beings, deep fakes - will transform Hollywood (and our lives). They already are. But you haven't seen anything yet. Fearless media-tech innovator and entrepreneur Victor Riparbelli, CEO of Synthesia (one of the leading innovators in this new AI-driven video world), joins me to discuss Synthesia's technology today - and where synthetic media will go in the next ten years. This all raises questions about the meaning of "creativity" and the impact on the creative community (and impacts on our lives). What happens to the "soul" of creativity when all of us can create Hollywood quality movies from our bedrooms - and when real human actors are no longer needed to play the leading roles?  We discuss it all in this fascinating live CREATV University discussion.
