Richard Kerris of NVIDIA: AI, Creators, and Developers

We’re excited to welcome Richard Kerris, Vice President of Developer Relations and GM of Media & Entertainment at NVIDIA, to the show today. Richard has had an extensive career working with creators and developers across film, music, gaming, and more. He offers valuable insights into how AI and machine learning are transforming creative tools and workflows.

In particular, Richard shares his perspective on how these advanced technologies are democratizing access to high-end capabilities, putting more power into the hands of a broader range of storytellers. He discusses the implications of this for the media industry—will it displace roles or expand opportunities? And we explore Richard's vision for what the future may look like in 5-10 years in terms of applications being auto-generated to meet specialized user needs.

We think you’ll find the wide-ranging conversation fascinating as we explore topics from AI-enhanced content creation to digital twins and AI assistants. Let’s dive into our discussion with Richard Kerris .

Key Points:

• Democratization of creative tools is enabling more people to produce high-quality media content. This expands opportunities, rather than displacing roles.
• Future apps may be auto-generated via AI to meet specialized user needs, rather than created as generic solutions.
• Industrial metaverse allows manufacturers to optimize workflows through virtual prototyping.
• Open USD provides a common language for 3D tools to communicate, improving collaboration.
• AI agents will become commonplace assistants customized to individual interests and needs.
• Computing power growth is enabling complex digital twins like the human body to improve health outcomes.
• Generative AI introduces new considerations around rights of trained content and output.
• Education benefits from AI’s ability to showcase different artistic styles and techniques.
