This show is a conversation with Natalie Monbiot was head of Strategy for Hour One, an AI avatar and synthetic video company based in Israel. Natalie focuses on synthetic media and the virtual human economy, in which real people create and profit from their digital selves. Natalie and I are going to explore the virtual human economy through the examples of AI twins made for business leaders like Reid Hoffman and Jensen Huang. We’ll touch on how AI twins are poised to transform life, work, and play as people not only offload tasks onto them, but expand their possibilities with them. We’ll drill into what the virtual human economy could mean for content creators, and where listeners can learn more about this burgeoning field.
