Welcome to the Alan Smithee Podcast in which hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the latest news in production, post production, entertainment, tech and beyond. In this episode the gang’s conversation centers around the annual Science and Technical (Sci-Tech) Emmys, significant innovations presented at the IBC trade show, and emerging guidelines around AI use in media production. The discussion also examines the Television Academy’s AI task force, which has introduced broad ethical guidelines for AI use in production. And of course, there’s a bunch of really cool things to get excited about.
