In this inaugural episode of The Young Creator Electorate, host Sabbath Canady explores one of the most pressing questions facing young creators today: what does the rise of artificial intelligence mean for the future of human creativity?
Theatre artist and recent college graduate Nicholas Gilomen takes center stage with a powerful monologue that captures the complex relationship between AI technology and working artists. Speaking directly to an AI voice, Nicholas wrestles with questions that keep many creators up at night: Will AI replace human performers? How do we protect artistic authenticity in an age of deepfakes? And what happens when corporations prioritize cost-cutting over the humanity behind the art?
Through his personal lens as an aspiring voice actor navigating ongoing industry strikes, Nicholas examines how AI impacts everything from background performers to major productions, and why the loss of entry-level opportunities could reshape entire creative industries. The conversation that follows digs deeper into issues of digital privacy, stolen likenesses, and the urgent need for regulation in our rapidly evolving technological landscape.
This episode doesn't offer easy answers, but it amplifies the thoughtful, nuanced perspectives of Gen Z creators who refuse to be passive observers in conversations that will shape their artistic futures. From the ethics of AI training data to the importance of maintaining human connection in art, these young voices are asking the hard questions that matter most.
