This show features Helen Todd, who focuses on AI and creativity. She’s not just talking about the future. Helen Tod is building it via her podcast, newsletter and YouTube channel called Creativity Squared. In this show, Helen and I will explore why the nexus of creativity and AI is such a critical area to cover from both a professional and a social point of view. We’ll drill into what people mean when they discuss creative uses of AI, including digital cloning, storytelling and the next iteration of the metaverse. So you put all that together, and you’ve got a spicy cocktail for talking about the future of creative work in an AI environment.

Guest Bio
With an insatiable curiosity about people — what connects us, what impacts us, and what the future holds for us — this is Helen Todd, the first resident in Cincinnati, OH, to digitally clone herself.
An award-winning marketer, international speaker, and also an advisor and speaker for SXSW Interactive, she graduated from Xavier University and hold a Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communication from Emerson College.
In 2010 in New York City, she co-founded one of the first social media agencies, Sociality Squared, when social media was just emerging to help brands like Leica Camera, Symrise, and Fitbit grow their businesses and make a positive impact on culture.
She was at the forefront of a disruptive technology then, and now is leading the way yet again with Creativity Squared, a free weekly newsletter, podcast, and YouTube channel exploring how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence. Her new platform fosters critical discussions around A.I., including the future of ethical synthetic media like her digital avatar Helen 2.ODD.
Creativity Squared ignites the collective imagination at the intersection of A.I. and creativity to envision a world where artists not only coexist with A.I., but thrive.
She also co-hosts the largest A.I. meetup in Cincinnati, the CincyAI Meetup for Humans, and is a member of Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative alongside brands like Leica Camera, The New York Times, BBC, and more. The coalition’s important mission is to help combat the threat of misinformation and help creators get credit for their work.
