Hello Friend,
I hope last week was good for you?

This week, I published episode 6 of my podcast interview series with Tobias Jensen, you’ll find details and links to this below.
My article this week looks at how AI is quietly reshaping the creative industries.
Finally, my ongoing invite for podcast collaborators
I’m really pleased to have published episode 6 this week.
I’m currently working with 20+ podcast guests from a diverse range of countries, ages, backgrounds and perspectives that I look forward to sharing with you in the coming weeks and months.
Next week, you’ll meet my episode 7 guest Sarah Tan from Singapore.
Would you like to be a guest in a future episode?
I’m not looking for AI experts (thats me!) I am looking for people from different walks of life and professions, who have been thinking about AI could impact their profession, society or personal life in some way.

Invisible Artists: How AI is Quietly Reshaping Creative Industries
Creatives cannot afford to ignore this any longer
How do you feel about creativity - should it be the exclusive domain of humans? Or could AI have a role to play?
For centuries, human creativity has been celebrated as something that defines us and propels societal progress.
Many believed the creative industries would remain pretty much exclusively in the realms of human genius, even as technology advanced. However, that is no longer true with the latest developments in generative AI that can produce text, images, video, and music increasingly hard to distinguish from human creations.
This rapid AI evolution deeply matters for creatives and the creative industries. It impacts how artists feel about their own creativity, while reshaping creative work, competition, productivity, authorship, copyright, and more. A recent survey reveals the significant impact, with 59% of creatives already using AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney in their work.
As one creative eloquently summarised: "AI is an unstoppable force that needs embracing, like previous tech advances. But the value of genuine human innovation will be enhanced as the world gets overloaded with AI content. Creatives must strive to be more human." The invisible AI artists are here - and navigating the human-AI collaborative future is key for creatives.
Episode #6: Tobias Jensen: Europes AI Law - Protecting People or Helping Adversaries? AI & Education
How AI & The Law Looks from Europe & Balancing Rights vs AI Innovation
In this fascinating interview, I speak with Tobias Jensen, a lawyer from Denmark who specialises in tech and AI law. Tobias provides insights into the latest developments and challenges around regulating AI from a European perspective. He delves into the complex balancing act between protecting individual rights and privacy while still allowing innovation to flourish.
The conversation covers a wide range of thought-provoking topics, including the divergent approaches of the US, China and EU towards AI governance, the importance of AI transparency, the risks of hallucination and misinformation, AI's potential impact on the legal profession, and how to prepare the next generation for an AI-driven world.
Tobias offers a nuanced viewpoint, recognising AI's immense potential while urging caution against unchecked exploitation that could undermine fundamental human values. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the profound societal implications of artificial intelligence.

Honored to be included in this collection of interesting work. AI is an ever-evolving landscape, and having discussions around it is important.
Great article on creativity! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on authors and researchers using large language models (LLMs) to create their work. Do you think the quality of writing will become more homogeneous if everyone is using the same tools to write their articles? Will we lose originality and authenticity as a result? Or will we develop a universal approach to how we write?
