Today's episode is part of my series of double episodes featuring conversations with 2025 Student Academy Award nominees.
My first interview today is with 2025 Student Academy Award semifinalist Tushar Bhojwani, director of the animated film "Roar of the Tiger." We discuss his experience growing up in what's known as "the land of urban tigers" in Bhopal, India and the delicate balance between humans and nature.
Following that I chat with 2025 Student Academy Award Winner Mati Granica, director of the film "flower_gan." We talk about what actually happens when you ask an AI like ChatGPT to generate an image and the implications of using copyrighted content to train AI models.
