AI and Media Production: Friend or Foe?

My former colleague, Dr. John Owens of the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music's Media Production Division, invited me to virtually join his ethics class to discuss the rapidly evolving world of generative AI. Having taught with John within the then Electronic Media Division (now the Media Production Division) from 2001 to 2009, it was a pleasure to reconnect with my friend and share some of my recent research on generative AI.

Following my presentation, I had a lively discussion with his students. I hope that my talk raised more questions than answers as we navigate the myriad ways in which generative AI will transform both education and the creative field.
