AI is Inevitable

A TV Exec’s Take on the Future of AI for Actors


Are you worried that AI will take away industry jobs?
 

TV Executive Producer Aaron Rahsaan Thomas recently joined us for our Mastermind Weekend to speak about starting and maintaining industry relationships and protecting your voice in the industry.

We host one of these exclusive weekend events 4x per year for actors in our Elite Coaching & Mastermind Program and invite a unique industry guest each time to speak to our community and answer questions. 

During the Q&A, Aaron answered a question about AI with a refreshingly optimistic perspective about its impact on actors.

He sees AI as a creative tool – 
not a replacement for human talent.


Aaron thinks of it like past tech shifts: radio to TV, or the rise of streaming platforms, which both shook things up, but they’re all part of evolution.

Despite the rise of AI, he believes audiences will continue to seek out genuine human experiences on screen:

“I haven’t seen yet a generation that prefers to watch artificial faces.”
 

It’s important to stay informed and inspired as we navigate the ever-evolving intersection of entertainment and technology. 

So, whatever your stance on AI, this chat is a must-watch:


This is just a small snippet of a wide variety of topics Aaron covered for our community of Elite Actors during the last Mastermind Weekend. Our Clients rate these events as one of their favorite parts of the yearlong program. 

But don’t take our word for it! 

After our last Mastermind, Destiny N.,
(whose recent short film was just OSCAR-SHORTLISTED for Best Live Action Short!!)
shared this with us:

“Masterminds are always extremely powerful for me… I always leave motivated with clear action steps I can take next in my career, a reset of mindset, and a reminder of how important community is. Goals always seem more tangible when hearing from the experts and connecting with my peers at different stages of their careers. The best acting community I've ever been a part of.”

And Abbey F., an alumna of the Elite Program,
had this to say after completing a Mastermind weekend:
 
“I always feel so reenergized after the Masterminds.  The Coaches are such a wealth of knowledge and everyone's questions are usually ones that I always need answered myself! Love feeling the power of like-minded people who want to take their career to the next level!”
