Apple Video Podcasts and the Rise of Synthetic Creators | Justin Jackson - New Media Show
LIVE Tonight, April 1st, LIVE at 6 pm EST / 3 pm PST on The New Media Show #657, I’m joined live by Justin Jackson, Co-Founder and CEO of Transistor, group leader of the Podcast Standards Project (PSP), for a serious conversation about where podcasting and creator media are heading right now, and it will shock you. https://newmediashow.com | https://newmediashow.com/live
We’ll dive into Apple Podcasts and HLS video, the broader shift from podcasting to the very confusing and rapidly changing creator economy, the rapid rise of AI-created human clones and fully synthetic creators, and the opportunity to create clone versions of ourselves. If AI-generated human-like personalities begin flooding media platforms over the next 24 months, what keeps real human creators relevant, trusted, and valuable to audiences, and will we trust the AI clones of humans?
This is not an April Fool's joke episode. It may be one of the most important conversations creators, platforms, and media leaders need to have right now.
