The Director is Paulo Nunes (CEO at Two Impulse) and our Star is Kevin Surace, who is not only a big name in tech, but also a Broadway and film creator and producer. And seeing that awesome combination, we just could not skip the opportunity to pick his brain on what AI will do to the film industry.

Kevin is a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in the application of AI, with 94 worldwide patents, and recognized as the father of the Virtual Assistant. He led pioneering work on the first cellular data smartphone, the first AI virtual assistants and the first generative AI in software testing. Kevin featured for 5 years on TechTV’s Silicon Spin and received awards such as INC Magazines’ Entrepreneur of the Year or CNBC top Innovator of the Decade. All these are great reasons to pay close attention to what he has to say in this Real AI. Now. episode.

Just like a great movie, we aim to bring everyone into the topic through a great first act. That means briefly covering Generative AI and Filmmaking fundamentals. From then on, just like Dr. Emmett Brown said: “Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads!” We just lift off towards the future and discuss what will be the Impact of AI in the film industry. And as you would expect, Hollywood in particular is always under our spotlight. 

If you’re a film enthusiast, you’ll not have a dull moment, because the conversation covers topics like what jobs will be affected, the democratization of filmmaking through AI or the consequences of low production costs. We not only talk about the big picture (pun intended, obviously), but also focus a bit more on specific aspects like screenwriting, editing, music and even acting. Kevin and Paulo also dig a little deeper to consider AI models’ limitations and bias, as well what it can mean for film quality and for the audience. The whole conversation is sprinkled with many examples, and even Audrey Hepburn is kind enough to show up and help us make it more clear for you.

If you’re a tech enthusiast or a film lover, and yes… we’re talking to you, don't you dare to miss this one. Can you handle the truth?
