What happens when the world’s largest AI talent agency creates thousands of podcasts per week? And when these shows aren’t hosted by humans, but rather by AI characters? In this episode, I’m joined by Jeanine Wright, CEO of Inception Point AI, a media company that uses 125 AI agents to produce a staggering 3,000 podcast episodes weekly across more than 5,000 shows.
Jeanine and I explore what it means to engineer humans out of the production process, and we unpack what’s in store for the future of entertainment. Hint: it involves humans designing AI characters so deeply that we’ll ultimately have to negotiate with AI talent for how they show up and where they appear. Is this a bad thing? Or an exciting new frontier?
