With the proliferation of AI, AR, VR, and the increased consumer appetite for more experiential and personalized forms of entertainment, an inflection point for the entire media entertainment industry will be upon us sooner than later. How will the industry respond? In this session, entertainment execs will discuss where they see the future of entertainment heading. Questions to be addressed:
-Will there be room for both the old-school and new-school versions of content creation (i.e. passive vs. interactive, communal vs personalized experiences, out-of-home vs in-home)?
-If incorporating AI and Virtual Beings into future entertainment offerings, what are the psychological, ethical, and moral considerations that need to be made?
-Will AI and a more personalized interactive form of entertainment undermine the writers and creators of classic entertainment? Who will control the content if it's user-driven?
-How will AI affect IP? How will movie studios be able to monetize interactive, ever-changing virtual beings when each one means different things to different people based on their own personalized experiences with them?

Description
The digital revolution has changed every aspect of our lives, the very essence of how we live, work and play. It's defied predictions of visionaries and techno prophets where instead of creating an alternative cyber space parallel to our reality, the opposite is happening: information is no longer confined to the pixels on our screens. The entire physical world -- even living and breathing matter -- is being infused with data, demanding new, unprecedented forms of interactivity.
In this talk, Ivan Poupyrev will discuss his explorations of the present and the future where technology, connectivity and intelligence are woven into the very fabric of our lives. He will outline his vision of the world as an interface where everything is connected and interactive, viewed through a lens of projects that cover over 20 years of research and that spans and connects a variety of fields from augmented and virtual reality, haptics and touch interfaces, to radars, smart fabrics and interactive living plants. The talk will present his most recent explorations in creating future ambient computing environments: development of a pico-radar for awareness and touchless gesture interaction (Project Soli), and designing a platform for manufacturing interactive, connected soft goods at scale (Project Jacquard).
