The AI Royalty Marketplace: Licensing, Monetization & Rev-Share

For the past two years, the AI content creation explosion has raised one unavoidable question — who gets paid? Users have embraced AI as a creative platform for everything from writing and imagery to music composition and full film scores. But the training data that makes all of it possible came from somewhere — and the creators, rights holders and content owners who provided it are demanding their share. The entertainment and technology industries are locked in a classic struggle to balance innovation against compensation, and the courts are only part of the answer. A robust marketplace of AI data royalties, licensing agreements, micro-payments and revenue sharing models is emerging from the negotiation. This is not just a legal conversation. It is the future architecture of the creative economy.

Session I:

Super Creativity Studios: The Future of Hollywood

Hollywood has always reinvented itself, from silent films to talkies, from broadcast to cable, from DVD to streaming. But the current reinvention is different in kind, not just in degree. A confluence of breakthrough technologies is fundamentally rewriting the economics of production itself. Virtual production workflows and LED volume stages are eliminating location costs. AI-assisted VFX is compressing post-production timelines and budgets. Without question, AI plays a critical role. But real-time game engines are also replacing traditional pre-visualization. The result; low budget indie productions are viable industry contributors but on the traditional studio lot, a $220 million movie can become a $75 million movie without sacrificing the vision. In this session we bring together the producers, technologists and studio strategists who are deploying these tools in real productions today, and ask the question every financier, filmmaker and platform executive needs answered — what does the future of the Hollywood studio really look like.

Session II:

Hollywood IP: The Creativity Engine: Film · TV · Video · Games · Social Media

Hollywood has always been the world's greatest IP factory — from the golden age of cinema to the golden age of television to the birth of the blockbuster franchise. But today the platforms have changed everything. The insatiable appetite of YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, Roblox and every emerging social and gaming universe is forcing Hollywood's greatest brands to rethink, reinvent and reposition across every screen simultaneously. Dominance on one platform is no longer enough. The new goal is total platform presence — film, television, video, games and social media all feeding the same IP universe. In this roundtable we bring together the producers, studio strategists, game designers and platform leaders who are building Hollywood's next creative empire across every screen on the planet.

Session III:

In the Age of AI Slop, Quality is the New Currency

Every director, showrunner, and creative executive is asking the same question right now: how do you make something that actually cuts through the slop? We have more tools than ever, more data than ever, and somehow more slop than ever. In this panel we bring together the people who are reading the cultural signals in real time alongside the creatives who are acting on them, to have an honest conversation about what quality means when AI can fake everything… except for taste. In a world that demands more content every single second, how do you protect what you've built while finding new revenue? How do you use viewership and culture data to reinforce value? How do you back the right horse from the beginning so the quality speaks for itself?

Session I:

Cinematic AI Achievement: An Extraordinary Standard of Excellence

Something extraordinary is happening in the world of Cinematic AI — and the evidence is on the screen. What began as an experiment in generated imagery has evolved into a genuine artistic movement, producing work of breathtaking visual beauty, emotional depth and narrative sophistication. The tools have matured. The artists have found their voice. And the results are redefining what cinema can be and who gets to make it. In this roundtable we celebrate and examine the highest standard of achievement in Cinematic AI — screening work from the most gifted filmmakers pushing the boundaries of the form, and asking the questions that matter most. What does excellence look like in this new era? Who is setting the standard? And what comes next?

Session II:

Brand + Network + Agency + Technology = Next Level of Strategies & Partnerships
The global influence and partnerships between “Brands, Networks, Technologies and Agencies” are reaching new levels of complexity and empowerment with the further developments and deployment of AI and ML technologies. On the one hand, consumer personalization has always been at the forefront in decision making, but now with the addition of powerful and direct AI engagement with consumers, which is only at its formative stages, will likely emerge as something of a breakthrough “Brand/Consumer Co-Pilot Relationship.” And in the world of immersive content experiences, AI as a “Creative Partner” is taking the ideation and production process to an entirely next level experience. In this roundtable, we bring together the executives deeply involved in exploring and delivering on this promise.

Session I:

Hollywood Visionaries: Building Worlds Beyond Boundaries

Hollywood's boldest creative visionaries are building worlds that didn't exist yesterday and will define entertainment tomorrow. These are the filmmakers, showrunners, game creators and immersive storytellers who have never accepted the boundaries of the possible — and who now have access to an arsenal of AI, VFX, XR and CGI tools that would have seemed like science fiction a decade ago. The result is a new era of blockbuster ambition where the only limit is the imagination of the artist holding the tools. In this roundtable we bring together the legendary creative minds who are forging the storytelling experiences of tomorrow — from the silver screen to the gaming universe, from streaming platforms to fully immersive worlds. What sparks a blockbuster? What drives the visionary fire? This is where we find out.

Session II:

Reasoning Models are Rewriting Hollywood: The Deep Dive
Average reasoning token consumption per organization increased 320X in the past twelve months according to OpenAI. We’re seeing an actual structural shift, and it is happening inside the workflows of the people across all sectors of the industry whether they are paying attention or not. This panel is for the professionals who are already using AI day to day and want to go deeper. Not the demo version. Not the press release version. The real version. What actually happens when reasoning models get embedded into creative workflows, visual tools, and production pipelines used by working writers, directors, producers, and technologists? The people who are figuring this out are quietly rebuilding how they work from the inside out, and the gap between them and everyone else is widening every quarter. This is where you find out what they know.

Session I:

Conversational AI: The Intelligent Consumer – The Engagement Engine

The consumer has changed forever — and the brands and agencies that understand this first will own the next decade. Conversational AI has fundamentally transformed the relationship between a brand and its audience, turning every screen, every platform and every touchpoint into an intelligent, responsive and deeply personalized engagement opportunity. This is not the chatbot of five years ago. This is a sophisticated Engagement Engine — capable of understanding intent, anticipating need, expressing genuine personality and delivering experiences that feel less like advertising and more like conversation. The executives in this roundtable are at the forefront of deploying conversational AI at scale — for the world's most powerful brands, across the most influential platforms. The consumer is smarter than ever. The question is whether the brands can keep up.

Session II:

The Creator Economy & Unique Vision: Algos, Analytics & Monetization

The "Creator Economy" has effectively slayed the giant of "Hollywood Entertainment" with a combination of YouTube and a host of Social Media platforms — and there is a "Secret Sauce," a massive black box of AIs, Algos and Analytics. With billions of dollars at stake, this session looks to explore the intricacies of social media's inner workings. From the role of AI and machine learning to the impact of user behavior and feedback loops, we'll examine the complex systems that shape the online landscape. But the secret sauce is more than technology — it is vision, voice and the relentless ability to build and own an audience. By demystifying the algorithms, we'll uncover the hidden patterns and principles that govern success in the Creator Economy — and provide creators and executives with the insights they need to thrive.

Session I:

The Intelligence Economy: Demand & Investment in AI, Compute, Energy & Software

Let's first familiarize ourselves with the notion of "Compute" as a descriptor of the baseline of our future economy. "Compute" represents the fundamental infrastructure that underpins the AI-driven world, encompassing the complex interplay of hardware, software, and energy. So that a city, region, country or group of countries strategically develop their economies around the notion of "Compute," that strategy will indicate the readiness of that entity to provide services to its populations and compete within this vision of the modern world. And what of the critics who warn of AI's insatiable energy appetite? The industry has answered decisively — every Data Center will develop and fund its own energy source, selling surplus power directly back into the consumer grid. AI doesn't drain the grid. It feeds it. We are entering a Re-Defined World and the Compute-driven global economy is its foundation.

Session II:

The Infinite Remix: What Happens When AI Floods the World with Catalog Versions and Covers

What if there were suddenly ten AI versions of "Hotel California" in five different genres, eight fresh takes on "Country Roads," and a dozen new interpretations of "O Holy Night" every holiday season — all generated in minutes? It is no longer a hypothetical. As agentic AI tools make high-quality covers and catalog remixes effortless, the floodgates are open. Rights holders collect royalties they never anticipated. Streaming platforms fill with familiar sounds in unfamiliar arrangements. And somewhere in the noise, the working songwriter and the original voice struggle to be heard. This panel examines the strange new arithmetic of an AI-saturated music landscape — who wins, who disappears, and whether a world of infinite remixes leaves any room for something genuinely new.

Session I:

The Agentic Moment: Bringing AI Agents to the Desktop – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

As Jensen Huang recently observed, the arrival of Agentic AI is as significant a moment as the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. It arrived quietly. No fanfare, no government warning, no prime-time news alert. One morning you woke up and your desktop had a new tenant — an AI Agent capable of browsing, deciding, executing and acting on your behalf across every application, every platform and every transaction in your digital life. Welcome to the Agentic Moment. The most significant shift in human-computer interaction since the invention of the mouse has arrived — and nobody fully understands the implications yet. Who is the Agent working for? How does it make decisions? What happens when it's wrong? And what happens when it's right in ways you didn't anticipate? What could possibly go wrong?

Session II:

Training the “Stanley Kubrick - Charlie Kaufman” AI: Creativity, Ethics & the Limits of Intelligence

What would happen if an AI were trained on the entire life's work of Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, Billy Wilder and John Ford? That would be like handing an intelligence the Keys to the Hollywood Kingdom — the finest in cinematography, screenwriting, humor, drama and editing ever committed to film. And even with that extraordinary assemblage of greatness as its foundation, would an AI with a near-Einstein level mind be able to create — even with professional human assistance — a truly great work of cinema? This is not an idle question. In a world racing toward Artificial General Intelligence, it is a question we may very soon have to answer. The ethics, the creativity and the limits of machine intelligence are on trial in this roundtable.

Noon – 12:50 PM : Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

Architects of the Branding & Entertainment Experience:  AI - CGI – XR

The spectacular world of moving images, immersive experiences and iconic visuals has never had more powerful tools at its disposal — or more visionary artists willing to push them to their absolute limits. From Sphere-sized domes and mega-structures that transform city skylines into living canvases, to the most intimate and precisely targeted viral campaigns delivered directly to your phone — the architects of today's branding and entertainment experience are operating at a scale and sophistication that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. AI, CGI and XR have become the defining instruments of a new creative renaissance. In this session we showcase the work and hear from the master creators behind the most eye-catching brand campaigns and inventive entertainment experiences being produced anywhere in the world today.

Speakers:

Ty Roberts, CEO, FanTracks Digital LLC; former CTO, Universal Music Group, Moderator

Session II:

The Creativity Pipeline: AI Ideation · Visualization · Storyboards · Plot Structure

Every great film, novel, screenplay and creative project begins the same way — with an idea that needs to become something real. The journey from first spark to finished structure has always been the most challenging and most solitary part of the creative process. Until now. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed the creative pipeline — from the earliest stages of ideation and concept development through visualization, storyboarding and plot structure — giving writers, filmmakers and storytellers a collaborative intelligence that never sleeps, never runs out of ideas and never stops pushing the work forward. In this session we map the complete AI-powered creative pipeline, demo the tools that are making it real and hear from the practitioners who are using it to produce work faster, bolder and more ambitiously than ever before.

Session III:

Microdrama at Scale: Format, IP, and Monetization

Microdramas — bite-sized serialized narratives delivered in vertical video format — are one of the fastest growing and most commercially compelling formats in entertainment today. Running one to three minutes per episode with completion rates three to five times higher than traditional formats, these hyper-engaging stories are commanding premium CPMs and rewriting the economics of both entertainment and advertising simultaneously. But microdrama success is not accidental — it is engineered. In this session we examine the structural anatomy of what works: narrative compression techniques that deliver genuine emotional payoff in under ninety seconds, IP strategies that build defensible character universes with real franchise potential, and monetization models that blend brand integration, creator revenue share and programmatic sponsorship. The format is new. The opportunity is enormous.

Session I:

The AI Director’s Cut: Creativity, Authorship & the New Filmmaking Frontier
AI filmmakers are no longer just experimenting — they are making real movies - real Hollywood creative production. Using advanced prompting, precise camera language, nuanced performances, and complex character interactions, creators are producing cinematic work that would have required entire crews just a few years ago. Short-form is already here. Feature-length may or may not ever arrive - that’s not the point. Because as the tools grow more powerful, a deeper question emerges: Who is actually the director? The human artist who conceives the vision, or the AI system that executes and sometimes surprises even its creator? This roundtable brings together leading AI filmmakers to screen their work and confront the defining creative, legal, and philosophical question of our time: What does authorship mean when the machine is a co-creator?

Session II:

AI Etiquette: The Conscious Use of AI in Design and Media 
Generative AI is three years into mainstream adoption and the industry is moving faster than the frameworks to guide it. This session isn't about whether AI is useful. It clearly is. The question is how we use it consciously, intentionally and with full awareness of what we gain and what we risk losing. Drawing on ten practical AI Etiquette Principles, this roundtable examines where AI accelerates creative work, where the human touch remains irreplaceable, and how designers, artists and media professionals can build AI adoption cultures that enhance rather than erode human judgment and creativity. The goal isn't to slow AI down. It's to make sure we're still driving.

Session III:

The Virtual Production Studio: Revolutionary Experience – Revolutionized Industry

It is almost impossible to exaggerate how much has changed in the world of visual creativity and film production in the past five years. What began with green screens and CGI has exploded into a universe of generative AI video, prompted 3D imagery, full AI audio tracks and a vast arsenal of pre-visualization tools — all placed directly in the hands of our greatest storytellers. Feature films, television shows, commercials and YouTube videos that once required months of production are being conceived and realized in days and weeks. The Virtual Production Studio is not a future concept. It is the present reality of an industry revolutionizing before our eyes. In this session we examine the phenomenon, the tools, the artists and the extraordinary experience of making something that has never been made before.

Session I:

The Deepfake Dilemma: Synthetic Memes & Characters – Creativity vs. Legal Jeopardy

Deepfakes began as a curiosity and became a cultural force. Today synthetic media — AI-generated likenesses, cloned voices, fabricated characters and viral meme culture — sits at the intersection of extraordinary creative possibility and genuine moral jeopardy. The question is no longer whether the technology works. It works remarkably well. Where does satire end and defamation begin? When does a synthetic character become misrepresentation for profit? These are real and unresolved questions. But synthetic media is also extending artists' careers, enabling directors to reshoot scenes during editing without recalling talent, giving brands new creative tools and opening storytelling possibilities that simply didn't exist before. In this roundtable we confront both sides of the Deepfake Dilemma honestly — the extraordinary creative potential and the genuine moral responsibility that comes with it.

Session II:

Super Creativity at the University: Film Departments + AI Labs = The Future

For decades film schools taught story and image while computer science labs taught code and data. In 2026 those walls are coming down — and what's emerging on the other side is genuinely exciting. This session brings together university film and television program leaders alongside their AI research counterparts to explore how collaboration between disciplines is reshaping creative education. How is narrative craft being fused with reasoning models? How are joint labs training directors on prompt engineering while training LLMs on cinematic datasets? The cross-disciplinary curriculum is still being written and not every experiment is succeeding — but the graduates emerging from these programs speak both story and code fluently. This session examines what's working, what isn't and why the university may become the most important creative laboratory of the next decade.

Session III:

The Explosive Advertising Experience: AI + 3D + XR + Spatial

The advertising industry has always attracted the most visually ambitious creative minds — and today those minds have access to an arsenal of AI, 3D, XR and spatial tools that are producing work of genuine artistic achievement. Cityscapes become living canvases. Devices become portals. Platforms become immersive worlds that blur the line between advertisement and experience. The results are spectacular — and this session celebrates and examines them directly. We bring together the creative directors, technologists and brand strategists who are building the most visually extraordinary advertising experiences being produced anywhere in the world today. This is not a conversation about what's coming. It's a showcase of what's already here — vibrant, immersive and expanding in capability every single month.

Session I:

AI and Next-Level Storytelling: Creativity Beyond the Algorithm - AI-XR-Experimental

The most adventurous creative minds in Hollywood have never been satisfied with the algorithm — and artificial intelligence, at its most experimental, is giving them tools to go further than any technology before it. This session lives at the intersection of AI, extended reality and pure creative experimentation — where the story is not just told but experienced, where the boundary between narrative and immersion dissolves and where the filmmaker, the artist and the technologist become indistinguishable from each other. These are not polished case studies or carefully managed presentations. This is the creative frontier — raw, experimental and genuinely unpredictable. In this roundtable we bring together the storytellers who are pushing AI and XR into territory no algorithm could have mapped and no studio executive could have greenlit alone.

Agentic Primetime: The Race to Deploy — AI, Brands & the Multiplatform Intelligence Layer

The starting gun has fired. Across every major brand, agency and enterprise technology team in the world, the race to deploy agentic AI at scale is underway — and the window to establish competitive advantage is closing faster than anyone anticipated. This is not a conversation about pilots and proofs of concept. The brands and platforms represented in this roundtable are already in production, already deploying AI agents across multiplatform intelligence layers that are reshaping how consumers are reached, served and retained. The rules are being written in real time. The winners will own the next decade of brand and consumer relationships. The losers will spend that decade catching up. Welcome to Agentic Primetime — the most consequential deployment race in the history of marketing technology.

Session III:

Cinematic AI & Virtual Production: A World of Tools and Technology – Layers of Innovation

Creativity and storytelling remain the operative words — but the tools accelerating that process have never been more powerful or more accessible. From AI-assisted scriptwriting and storyboarding to virtual production workflows that leverage real-time game engines, motion capture and LED volume technology, the entire filmmaking pipeline is being reimagined from the ground up. Real-time rendering and ray tracing are delivering photorealistic visual fidelity without the cost and time of traditional post-production. Generative AI video, prompted 3D imagery and spatial audio are giving filmmakers capabilities that simply didn't exist two years ago. In this session we go deep into the tools, the workflows and the layers of innovation that are transforming cinematic production — and hear from the professionals integrating these technologies into their creative pipelines right now.

Session I:

The Meme War: Propaganda & Bots vs. Legitimate Satire

The internet didn't invent propaganda — but it gave it a rocket ship. Today's information battlefield is fought in memes, manipulated media, coordinated bot networks and AI-generated disinformation campaigns operating at a scale and speed no human team could match. Yet running alongside this weaponized content is a long and legitimate tradition of political satire, creative parody and comedic dissent that democracies have always depended upon. Where is the line? Who draws it? And when platforms, algorithms and foreign actors are all playing the same game simultaneously, does the line even hold? In this session we trace the origins of malicious bots and coordinated inauthentic behavior, examine the forensics of modern propaganda and ask what legitimate satire looks like in the age of the meme war.

Session II:

AI & the Creative Community – Representing the Interest of the Artist - This is a Far from Settled Question

While the Hollywood strikes of yesteryear may now be old news, the concerns of the Guild membership, the writers and actors are far from settled. And the news of “AI Lawsuit Progress,” may simply be disconcerting. After all, creative concerns cannot always be resolved through arbitration and legal settlement. AI at its best may prove to be a fantastic aide, speeding up the “Create Process,” but perhaps an artist doesn’t want the process accelerated, even if the product is a little better. The underlying issues of Artificial Intelligence, from Deep Fakes, Image Provenance, Virtual Humans and the ultimate ability of the AI to reason, think and author creative works is far from settled fact. Who among us can say what the future might hold. For those of you who have tried AI or perhaps have even become “Expert” in AI application, you are aware of the problems it may present. AI can as easily violate copyright of everything from image to story to voice as it can enhance the creativity of the most sophisticated artist. This our world to explore.

Session III:

The Future of IP: Managing Digital Identity

The concept of identity has never been more valuable — or more vulnerable. In the age of synthetic humans, deepfake technology, AI-generated likenesses and voice cloning at industrial scale, the management of digital identity has become one of the most urgent and commercially significant challenges in entertainment, technology and law simultaneously. Who owns your face? Who controls your voice? What happens to your digital identity after you die — and can it be licensed, monetized or replicated without your consent? From Hollywood talent to global brands, from everyday consumers to heads of state, the question of who controls digital identity in the age of AI is no longer theoretical. In this session we bring together the legal, creative and technology leaders building the frameworks that will govern the most personal asset any of us owns.

Session I:

State by State: The Legislators May Decide AI’s Future: California, Colorado, New York, Illinois, Tennessee etc.

Federal AI legislation remains gridlocked — so the states are moving on their own, and the landscape is becoming impossible to ignore. California, Colorado, New York, Illinois and Tennessee have each taken a different approach to regulating artificial intelligence, and the differences are as revealing as the regulations themselves. Tennessee's Elvis Act targets deepfakes and voice cloning directly, protecting recording artists and performers from synthetic identity theft. California's expansive legislation reaches from deepfake technology and data privacy all the way to the regulation of frontier AI model training. Illinois extends the conversation into employee discrimination, voice recordings and robocalls. Colorado and New York are staking out their own ground on algorithmic accountability and consumer protection. Five states, five philosophies, five very different visions of where AI regulation is heading — and forty-five more waiting in the wings. With fifty states potentially moving in fifty different directions, this session may be the most important canary in the coal mine the industry has right now.

Session II:

Conversational AI: Reliable Intelligence: Verification & Data Accuracy

Artificial intelligence can write a screenplay, generate a marketing campaign, compose a legal brief and recommend a stock — but can you trust what it tells you? Hallucination, confabulation, outdated training data and deliberate data poisoning are not edge cases. They are daily realities in enterprise AI deployment. As conversational AI becomes embedded in the workflows of studios, networks, brands and newsrooms, the question of data integrity moves from theoretical concern to operational crisis. Who is responsible when AI gets it wrong? How do leading data infrastructure companies verify the accuracy of what their systems produce? And what does reliable intelligence actually look like in a world where the answer arrives in seconds but the truth takes longer? This session examines the verification challenge that every AI user needs to understand.

Session I:

AI Entertainment and Storytelling: The Rise of Native AI Creative Worlds

The human imagination has always been the engine of great storytelling — and that hasn't changed. What has changed is the creative toolkit available to the storyteller. AI is evolving beyond a production tool and becoming a new creative medium in its own right, enabling a growing number of studios and creators to build Native AI entertainment: stories, characters and worlds conceived and brought to life in ways that were simply not possible before. This session explores the emergence of this new paradigm — from fully AI-generated experiences to hybrid productions that thoughtfully combine AI with human actors, directors and writers. We examine how leading creators are navigating this shifting landscape: the artistic possibilities, the technical breakthroughs, the audience engagement and the evolving business models. How storytelling itself is being redefined — with the human imagination still firmly at the wheel.

Session II:

Streaming + The Creator Economy + Podcasts = A Media Realignment

The traditional media hierarchy is being redrawn in real time. Streaming platforms, creator-led brands and podcasts are converging into a new direct-to-consumer ecosystem where attention, revenue and storytelling flow without gatekeepers — and the old rules no longer apply. In this session we bring together the leaders driving this realignment. How are streaming giants becoming creator incubators? How are top podcasters building billion-dollar media empires from scratch? How are brands shifting budgets to own the entire consumer funnel through authentic creator partnerships? The winners in this new landscape are the creators and platforms that control the relationship and the data simultaneously. The losers are still waiting for the old model to come back. This is not evolution. This is the great media realignment — and the map is being redrawn right now.

Session III:

AI & the Law: A "Deep Dive" - Fair Use, Copyright and the Doctrine of Innovation

The guilds settled. The lawsuits continue. And the fundamental question at the heart of the AI and entertainment industry debate remains stubbornly unresolved — does innovation have the right to override the protections that creative professionals have spent a century building? The core issues go far beyond compensation. Data training, ownership, creative control, deepfake technology, political disinformation, revenge porn and the wholesale misuse of intellectual property are all converging simultaneously on a legal framework that was never designed to handle any of them. At the same time the creative opportunities — educational access, freedom of expression, reduced barriers to entry — are real and significant. In this deep dive we ask whether existing copyright law, right of publicity and current regulations are anywhere near sufficient for what artificial intelligence is already doing.

Session I:

Anatomy of the AI Creative Process: The “MYStudio" Vision: From Ideation & Concept to Final Frame

Every great piece of AI-driven project begins with a spark, and ends with a final frame that nobody could have predicted at the start. But what happens in between? In this session, Jiajian Min and Anna Borou Yu from MYStudio will open up its creative process through a close look at how an AI-mediated project is developed from initial concept to final experience. Drawing from MYStudio’s practice across AI filmmaking, interactive installation, multimedia performance, immersive experience, this session pulls back the curtain on the complete AI production process for a forensic breakdown of how it got made. Every decision. Every tool. Every moment where the AI surprised them, failed them or took the work somewhere entirely unexpected. This is not a panel about AI production in theory. This is one specific journey from ideation to final frame told by the people who lived it.

Session II:

Generative AI Law: Let's Get Real - Is Copyright a Right or Does it Have Temporary Legal Status?

Let's get real. The legal system is moving — but is it moving fast enough, and in the right direction? The creative and entertainment communities are watching the AI training data lawsuits with a mixture of hope and dread. The New York Times versus OpenAI. Getty Images against Stability AI. Class actions against Midjourney, DeviantArt and Github. Each case is a piece of a much larger question that the courts have never been asked to answer before. The Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol infringed on Lynn Goldsmith's photograph of Prince — and that decision sent shockwaves through the creative world. So here is the fundamental question this roundtable confronts directly: Is copyright a permanent, foundational right — or in the age of artificial intelligence, has it acquired temporary legal status?

Session III:

The Monetization Matrix: Where Brand, Consumer, and Technology Intersect – Dynamics of AI and Immersion

The Monetization Matrix has arrived — and it is more complex, more powerful and more commercially significant than anything the advertising and entertainment industries have navigated before. Digital commerce has evolved into immersive interaction. Mobile devices have become portals to arena-scale brand experiences. AI is creating celebrity twins and hyper-personalized consumer interactions at a scale that was science fiction three years ago. Where brand, consumer and technology intersect in the dynamics of immersion — that is where the next decade of revenue will be won and lost. The playing field belongs to the agencies, brands, sports leagues and television networks bold enough to move first. In this roundtable we map the matrix, examine what's already working and ask who is positioned to own the immersive commerce future.

Session I:

The Social Accelerator + Video = The New Hollywood Consumer + Brand + Commerce

Eight hours a day. That is how much time the average 14-34 year old consumer spends on social video — and that number is not going down. The cord has been cut, the remote has been replaced by a thumb and the living room has been redistributed across every screen in every pocket. For Hollywood, Madison Avenue and every brand trying to reach this generation, the social video explosion is not a threat to be managed. It is the primary opportunity of the decade. Social-first content and short-form video have permanently blurred the line between entertainment and commerce. In this session we examine the strategies behind successful brand integrations, the future of influencer marketing and the evolving role of Hollywood in a world where the social accelerator never stops.

Session II:

Microdrama at Scale: Format, IP, and Monetization, Part II

Microdramas — bite-sized serialized narratives delivered in vertical video format — are one of the fastest growing and most commercially compelling formats in entertainment today. Running one to three minutes per episode with completion rates three to five times higher than traditional formats, these hyper-engaging stories are commanding premium CPMs and rewriting the economics of both entertainment and advertising simultaneously. But microdrama success is not accidental — it is engineered. In this session we examine the structural anatomy of what works: narrative compression techniques that deliver genuine emotional payoff in under ninety seconds, IP strategies that build defensible character universes with real franchise potential, and monetization models that blend brand integration, creator revenue share and programmatic sponsorship. The format is new. The opportunity is enormous.

Session III: 
Film Finance Reimagined: Crowdfunding, Community Capital & SEC Compliance

Independent film has always struggled with the same fundamental challenge — great projects disappear not because they lack quality but because they lack marketing muscle and audience awareness at the moment of release. A new generation of film finance models is changing that equation. Community-based investment platforms are building rolling funds that deploy capital specifically into marketing and distribution, creating sustainable cycles where returns from successful films fund the next wave rather than starting from zero each time. With 2,500 investors, multiple films in active release and millions raised before a single project was announced, the model is already producing results. In this session we examine how crowdfunding, community capital and SEC Regulation Crowdfunding compliance are combining to give independent film a genuine fighting chance in a crowded marketplace.

Session IV:

Music, Brands and AI! Executives & Artist Collaboration: AI/XR/Immersive

Music has always been the most visceral and immediate art form — and artificial intelligence is about to make it more powerful, more immersive and more commercially significant than ever before. Live performance is being transformed by AI-driven XR environments where the concert experience extends far beyond the physical venue. Brands are seizing the moment, partnering with artists and platforms to create experiences that blur the line between performance, storytelling and commerce. And AI is opening creative gateways that no human musician or producer could reach alone — composing, remixing, personalizing and distributing music at a scale and speed that is rewriting the economics of the entire industry. In this roundtable we bring together the musicians, brand strategists and immersive technology leaders who are building the future of music right now.

Session I:

The Creativity Pipeline: AI Ideation · Visualization · Storyboards · Plot Structure, Part II

Every great film, novel, screenplay and creative project begins the same way — with an idea that needs to become something real. The journey from first spark to finished structure has always been the most challenging and most solitary part of the creative process. Until now. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed the creative pipeline — from the earliest stages of ideation and concept development through visualization, storyboarding and plot structure — giving writers, filmmakers and storytellers a collaborative intelligence that never sleeps, never runs out of ideas and never stops pushing the work forward. In this session we map the complete AI-powered creative pipeline, demo the tools that are making it real and hear from the practitioners who are using it to produce work faster, bolder and more ambitiously than ever before.

Session II:

Conversational AI: Personality · Nuance · Emotion · Vocal Expression · Hyper-Realistic Prose

The chatbot is dead. What has replaced it is something far more sophisticated, far more human and far more consequential for every brand, platform and creative professional in this room. Conversational AI has crossed a threshold — developing genuine personality, emotional nuance, vocal expression and the ability to generate hyper-realistic prose that is increasingly indistinguishable from human writing. This is not an incremental improvement. It is a civilizational shift in how intelligence communicates. The implications for advertising, entertainment, customer experience, virtual humans and creative production are staggering and only beginning to be understood. In this roundtable we bring together the researchers, creative directors and platform leaders who are building conversational AI with genuine personality and emotional depth — and ask what it means when the machine finally learns to speak like a human.

Session III:

The Interactive Holographic Revolution: Immersion Beyond the Screen

We are entering a time when volumetric display technologies (aka holograms) are becoming more commonly available. The widespread implications for entertainment, education, manufacturing, politics and social media are enormous. No aspect of society will remain unaffected. Large scale projected holography, such as at the Sphere in Vegas demonstrates the capabilities that many will soon find in their homes. Producers are starting to create works, both narrative and more expressionistic, that utilize the AI-driven interactive tools, imagining a time when storytelling is told through multiple-timelines and outcomes. A merger of entertainment, fine art, game design and user participation is evolving rapidly. This panel will focus on the holoSTAGE project, and present international examples of large-scale holographic imagery. The future is volumetric.

Session I:

The Legal Implications: Chatbots & Virtual Human Engagement – Peaking Over the Legal Horizon

The chatbot answered your customer service question. The virtual human recommended a product. Harmless enough. But peer over the legal horizon and the implications become considerably more complex and considerably more urgent. What happens when a virtual human becomes a personal companion — an AI girlfriend, an AI boyfriend, a psychological counselor, a healthcare advisor? What are the liability implications when that relationship goes wrong? Who owns the data generated by the most intimate human-AI interactions ever recorded? In this closing roundtable our panel of industry lawyers — relaxed, candid and unfiltered at the end of a long day — explores the legal frontier of chatbot and virtual human engagement. Data privacy, intellectual property, liability and the ethics of human-AI dependency. The legal horizon is closer than anyone is ready for.


Session II:
AI Slop: The Uncanny Valley of Social Media and Mediocrity

AI slop isn't simply content that feels slightly off. It's a flood — an industrial-scale deluge of generated images, videos, voices and text overwhelming every platform simultaneously, the way 400 unwatchable television shows once buried the three genuinely great ones. The volume is staggering and the signal-to-noise ratio is getting worse. But television survived its own flood and produced its golden age on the other side. The question is whether AI-generated content follows the same arc. A new generation of AI-native creators and platforms are already pushing through — synthetic performers with real audiences, AI characters building loyal communities, tools producing work no human team could have made alone. Is AI slop the junkyard or the opening act? We bring together the people living on both sides of that question right now.

5 PM – 5:50 PM - Eastern Time Zone

Session I:

Experiments in AI Entertainment, Art & Virtual Humans

Nobody knows where the limits are. That is the most honest and most exciting thing that can be said about AI creativity in 2026 — and this session leans into that uncertainty with everything it has. The categories of creativity in the age of AI are still being discovered, still being named and still being imagined by the artists brave enough to work at the frontier. This closing session of the day brings together the most adventurous AI creatives for a live showcase of experiments in entertainment, art and virtual humans that will surprise, provoke and occasionally astonish. AI-crafted narratives that blur reality. Digital art that redefines aesthetics. Virtual humans so lifelike they steal the show. No corporate presentations. No safe choices. Just creativity unleashed.
