Protecting Creativity in the Age of AI
The onslaught of AI has led to artists, musicians, and writers globally boycotting against generative AI. In contrast, a growing wave of digital media artists: music, video, and content producers -- have embraced AI as a pre- and post-production tool. Between big tech, private financing, and media monopolies -- can the individual, independent artist truly survive, if not thrive? As an analog artist turned AI software founder, Yee has a few tips to share on how to shrewdly navigate sharky IP and business waters, on fighting to keep your passion’s alive.
Yee is the founder-artist of Thoth.ai, an AI art software that turns voice, video, and text content into 1-page infographic summaries. Previously, she was a world-leading visual scribe for 450 over global clients, including Bloomberg, Bain, Huawei, UNDP, and Meta. Her first startup, Idea Ink, was a multi-million dollar infographics design agency. For fun, she makes comics and writes bilingual poetry, both without AI.
