There is a lot of talk about Ai with everything – but maybe there’s just as much that
can be achieved purely through simple automation? But does automating a creative
task devalue it?
How do you create hundreds of thousands of customized videos and images in an
hour? What does this mean for film makers, video editors and content creators?
Hear Satej talk you through his entrepreneurial journey and what he sees as
opportunities and the future of Ai & Automation in this video and image space,
including deep fakes and developing a ‘growth mindset’.
