A Week Of AI Product Events

This week I attended the Chief Product Officer and Chief AI Officer events, an AI and Storytelling dinner in Hollywood, a product leaders gathering, and a marketing leaders dinner in Silicon Valley.

There is real optimism right now about what AI can mean for our industry. Not hype. Not fear. Real excitement, paired with serious questions from people who understand the stakes. How does AI strengthen the creative process? How does it improve distribution and discovery? How does it change the way audiences find and experience stories?

AI is no longer a side conversation. It is becoming central to how leaders across media, technology, product, and marketing think about what comes next. We are early. There is a lot to work through. But when you see this much curiosity and alignment across so many parts of the industry at once, it usually means something important is changing.

And I feel lucky to be in the middle of it.
