Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing and causing a stir among creative professionals that ranges from excitement at new possibilities to fear of rendering jobs redundant and unnecessary.

As the responsibilities of assistant editors have morphed into highly technical tasks over the years, a disconcerting question emerges: are their roles at risk of being assumed by AI?

At last year's LACPUG, I was honored to be the moderator of a panel that talked about this very topic. The distinguished panelists were Ashley McKinney, Assistant Editor (Gotham KnightsShooterThe Last Movie Star); Scott Jacobs, Assistant Editor (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3Ant-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaWandaVisionThe Orville); and Richard Sanchez, Visual Effects Editor (AhsokaBill & Ted Face the MusicShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law).

Whether you are an assistant editor or any creative professional in any industry, this conversation applies to you. AI is not going anywhere and the more we understand how it impacts every job and person we interact with, the more we can adapt and grow with it. Join us for a candid conversation about what this paradigm shift means for all creative professionals. This is a discussion you won't want to miss and I am immensely grateful to LACPUG for allowing me to publish it here.
