Will AI Replace Content Creators?

It’s one of the most polarizing questions to emerge in the world of content creation this decade: to use AI or not to use AI? There are loud voices on both sides of the debate, but the answer for most creators likely lies somewhere in the middle.

On this season 2 premiere of First Frame, hosts Jennifer Park and Cameron Zinger sit down with Catherine Warren, the President of FanTrust Entertainment Strategies, to talk about the benefits and the risks of incorporating AI into your creative process. She begins by laying out her ‘five Cs’ of AI use: clarity, consent, credit, compensation, and cultural integrity, and discusses why creators need to take them into account every step of the way. She also explains why you shouldn’t shy away from AI entirely, and shares her thoughts on the expression “you may not lose your job to AI, but you might lose your job to someone who uses AI.”
