Digital Hollywood: The AI Summer Summit

4– 4:50 PM Eastern Time Zone
Session III:
AI & the Creative Community – Representing the Interest of Actors - Writers - Producers - Guild Members
While the Hollywood strikes last year may now be old news, the concerns of the Guild membership, the writers and actors are far from settled. After all, creative concerns cannot always be resolved through arbitration and legal settlement. The underlying issues of Artificial Intelligence, from Deep Fakes, Virtual Humans and the ultimate ability of the AI to reason, think and author creative works is far from settled fact. Who among us can say what the future might hold. For those of you who have tried AI or perhaps have even become “Expert” in AI application, you are aware of the problems it may present. AI can as easily violate copyright of everything from image to story to voice as it can enhance the creativity of the most sophisticated artist. This our world to explore.

Dan Neely, Co-Founder and CEO of Vermillio: With Vermillio, artists, actors, musicians, studios, and more can track and authenticate the use of their IP — including their likenesses — in generative AI content, enabling fair credit and compensation for their work and control of how it is used by others. Vermillio recently announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with talent agency WME to protect clients from IP theft and give them the opportunity to monetize their image and likeness by securely licensing their data. Alongside Sony and Legacy Recordings, Vermillio collaborated with The Orb and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd to develop a project where fans “remixed” their album and created original artwork. They also launched a Spider-Verse engine with Sony where fans created their own unique digital version of themselves in the animation style of the Spider-Verse artists. Vermillio’s Authenticated AI opens doors for creators to offer fans opportunities to safely engage with their IP in new and immersive ways. Before Vermillio, Dan Neely founded and served as the CEO of Networked Insights, a machine learning software company that was backed by Goldman Sachs and acquired in 2017. He has spent the better part of the last two decades building companies that use technology to disrupt the status quo, including Scient, a former internet-based consulting company, and Deloitte’s E-surance, the first online insurance company.
