Today, we dive into the fascinating intersection of art and artificial intelligence, exploring how AI is reshaping the creative landscape. We chat with Ellery, the CEO of Voight AI, who reveals the complexities of navigating AI compliance in entertainment while advocating for the irreplaceable human touch in creativity. As we discuss the impact of AI on artists, Ellery shares her insights on why the fear isn't just about AI creating better art, but rather about it producing more of it—faster, cheaper, and easier.

Join us as we unravel the challenges and opportunities ahead, highlighting that at the heart of creativity lies something that AI will never understand: our humanity.
