How are those investments adapted to, or taking into consideration, investments in generative AI? Ex: Training youth to work in film using genAI or not? David, I’d love to connect on LinkedIn but I don’t have your email. I’m running a resource cluster w international experts at the intersection of AI, art, law and society. Held a round table recently with IP experts I’d love to put you in touch with. Thank you so much for writing these excellent articles! Very interesting and helpful. 🙏🏻
Hello Valentine. Good to hear from you. I just sent you a connection request. To answer your question, I don’t know that the investments are particularly focused on GenAI yet, at least not on the continent. They are more particular about solving infrastructural problems first. But perhaps there’s a case to be made for this. Perhaps.
It’s so good to see the creative economy being built on just like other industries. It’s taking time, it may take a lot more time - but the conversations have began. And that a step in the right direction.
Eye-opening, thank you.
Glad you think so!

Without funding being focused on GenAI, integration of awareness of the implications for film and other creative sectors seems unavoidable? https://dig.watch/updates/tyler-perry-halts-800-million-studio-expansion-due-to-ai-concerns
I especially love the outlook part of this writeup
There is still do much with to be done
