OnAI: Ep5, FutureShock & The Digitization of Humanity.

In this episode we explore the digitization of humanity and unravel the enigma of AI in the creative sphere, featuring the indomitable Craig Swann. 

Craig, more than a Creative Director, is a digital polymath. He's journeyed from the dawn of the internet era, navigating titles from 'Creative Technologist' to 'Chief Imagination Officer.' His story? A mosaic of creativity, technology, and adaptability.

Our dialogue meanders through the nostalgia of Flash's heyday to the AI-driven multimodal present. 

We delve deep into AI's transformative role, from Snapchat filters to profound data analysis, questioning the essence of human authenticity in a data-driven economy.

 But it's not just tech talk. We explore how technology, particularly AI, is intertwined with our humanity, pondering its impact on careers, creativity, and personal identity in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

The conversation takes a philosophical turn, too. Craig and I discuss the responsibility of our generation in bridging the analog and digital worlds, passing on wisdom while embracing groundbreaking changes.

From the philosophical to the practical, we cover the spectrum. We even touch on the future of digital content creation and consumption, speculating on how AI will redefine our interaction with media and each other.
