Spotlight Thirteen - The New Imagination: Generative AI and Humanity’s Next Artistic Revolution with René Schulte and Philipp Schweidler

The Reply AI Film Festival 2025 in Venice spotlighted a creative shift with 2,500 submissions from 67 countries, it revealed how AI is reshaping film and storytelling.

Not as a passive tool, but as a co-creator challenging long-held ideas of authorship and originality.

Returning guest René Schulte, Expert in Physical AI, GenAI, XR & Digital Humans and Leader of Communities of Practice at Reply, joins Philipp Schweidler, Director of Toniq Sound Agency, to unpack AI and Humanity’s Next Artistic Revolution.

Together, they explore how AI amplifies human vision, pushes creative boundaries, and redefine what it means to create and they leave listeners with a resonant dose of food for thought about the future of entertainment and human expression.   

We examine the rise of the “human-made™” label, the balance between emotion and algorithms, and how AI is redefining the future of entertainment and creativity.
