This year an AI generated digital twin was created of Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and partner at Greylock. The video avatar, named “Reid AI”, looks like Reid, sounds like Reid, and is trained on 20 years of content from Reid’s podcasts, his interviews, and the five books he has authored. As a result, Reid AI can replicate answers that Reid Hoffman himself would give. In this keynote you’ll hear from the project’s creator, Ben Relles who works with Reid (the real one), as he outlines the intricacies of Reid AI’s development and its broader implications for content creation, entertainment, professional dynamics, and societal impact. Joining Relles for the keynote will be Reid AI himself, as the two of them discuss our future with AI and what it means specifically for video and creativity. This exploration is pertinent for professionals considering the implementation of AI avatars for roles ranging from corporate onboarding to executive communications to the future of video production, highlighting the transformative potential of digital replicas in various domains. Before the ReidAI project, Ben Relles spent ten years leading Innovation at YouTube and will discuss some of the parallels between the evolution of social video which democratized video distribution, and the current wave of advancements in Generative AI which has in many ways democratized production value. There will also be time for both Ben and Reid AI to answer your questions.

Since 2017, Hollywood (e.g. – studios, networks, talent agencies, payment processors) have explored the need for a registry to manage a global, interoperable Talent ID standard (e.g. – a unique, persistent, machine-readable & freely-resolvable ID number – like an IP Address or UPC barcode) to automate manual processes of notable talent ID matching, disambiguation, and verification – in the service of discoverability, royalty collection, and revenue tracking. And while other media and business sectors have automated / scaled supply-chains around ISO-level unique IDs – e.g. – music (ISRC), book publishing (ISBN), packaged goods (GTIN) – not so M&E, nor sports leagues & federations – around arguably their most valuable asset – the players/talent. And in the era of deepfakes and NIL rights licensing deals, verifiable identity of public figures is more critical than ever. Founder/CEO Will Kreth of HAND (Human & Digital) will discuss a growing set of use-cases & adopters of the HAND Talent ID – providing provenance of both real and virtual (digital replica) talent across cultural industries.
