John Attanasio and Luisa Huang, founders of Toonstar, join Thinking on Paper to explain how artificial intelligence is changing animation production, audience development and storytelling.

Traditional animation is expensive and slow to produce. Toonstar uses AI-assisted tools to reduce production time and costs while keeping writers, animators and performers involved in the creative process. The company has produced projects including StEvEn & Parker and The Gimmicks, an animated series developed with Mila Kunis.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How AI is used in animation production

• How Toonstar reduces the time and cost of creating animated shows

• Which parts of animation can be automated

• Why human writers, artists and performers remain central to the process

• How TikTok and YouTube can be used to test characters and story ideas

• Why social media is changing how animated series are developed

• How audience feedback can shape storylines and characters

• What blockchain adds to fan participation and digital ownership

• How independent studios can compete with established Hollywood animation companies

• What AI-generated animation means for creators and entertainment businesses

  
  

John and Luisa explain how Toonstar develops concepts in public, measures audience response and adapts productions more quickly than conventional studios.

This conversation examines whether AI can make animation cheaper and more responsive without reducing it to automated content, and how creators can give audiences a meaningful role in the stories they support.

Wei Xie is co-founder of ArenaX Labs. Their first game AI Arena, merges AI with blockchain to innovate gaming mechanics through imitation learning. In todays show he offers a nuanced perspective on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and gaming.

First Wei emphasizes the transformative potential of AI and Web3, outlining how these technologies are reshaping economic models by eliminating the scarcity of resources like labor and capital. The shift to a world of abundance, driven by AI’s ability to perform tasks once reserved for humans, is a major theme.

ArenaX Labs is developing two platforms: Arc, an AI gaming infrastructure, and SAI, a machine learning competition platform. Arc powers AI-driven games like AI Arena, which aims to educate players about machine learning through gameplay. SAI, on the other hand, serves AI researchers and developers by fostering competitive environments for creating advanced AI models.

Both platforms aim to cultivate AI talent, with AI Arena designed as an accessible entry point for newcomers, while SAI targets sophisticated AI practitioners, addressing the industry's ongoing talent shortage. These platforms represent a forward-thinking approach to human empowerment in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Could a quantum computer cure cancer? We’re reading Michio Kaku's Quantum Supremacy and asking how quantum computing, CRISPR, and gene editing are set to revolutionize medicine. Can quantum computing help cure cancer, eradicate genetic diseases, and prevent future pandemics?

Disruptors and curious minds. There are 5 layers of automation in the automotive (that's cars to you and me) industry... And you can't buy a level5 car. Even in San Francisco. We tell you why.

He outlines the five layers.

Join us in the quantum realm as we explore Michio Kaku's book, "Quantum Supremacy. This week we discover why not all quantum computers are created equal and how different approaches to quantum computing could shape our technological future..
