As part of our rapid fire interview series, Anndy shares his quick take on the AI evolution, how it will impact the workforce in APAC, and his favourite thing about AI.

Can you share with us your background and experience?

I have started to look at cryptocurrencies in 2013 and then blockchain in 2017. The first time I got to know what blockchain can do is at a closed door session with a pharma company. Blockchain’s ability to fight counterfeit is very effective. I have then gone full time into this space since. I gave advice to governments, listed companies, leading crypto exchanges and the list goes on.

As a tech leader, what’s the first thing you do when you start your work?

The first thing I do when I start my work is to check the latest news and trends in the tech world, especially in the areas of blockchain, AI, and cybersecurity. I like to keep myself updated on the current developments and challenges in these fields, and how they affect the society and the economy. I also like to connect with other tech leaders and experts, and exchange ideas and insights on how to leverage technology for positive impact.

What does AI evolution mean to you in one sentence?

AI evolution means the continuous improvement and advancement of AI systems and applications, driven by human creativity and curiosity, to solve complex problems and enhance human capabilities.

What is one way in which AI will impact enterprise security?

One way in which AI will impact enterprise security is by enabling more effective and efficient detection and prevention of cyberattacks, such as malware, phishing, ransomware, and DDoS. AI can help analyse large volumes of data, identify patterns and anomalies, and respond to threats in real time. AI can also help automate and optimise security processes, such as authentication, encryption, and backup.

What do you see as the biggest transformation that AI will bring about in the workforce in APAC?

The biggest transformation that AI will bring about in the workforce in APAC is the creation of new jobs and opportunities that require higher levels of skills, creativity, and collaboration. AI will also augment and complement human workers, by taking over repetitive and mundane tasks, and providing insights and recommendations. AI will also enable more flexible and remote work arrangements, as well as lifelong learning and upskilling.

One challenge which AI will pose for the workforce in APAC.

One challenge which AI will pose for the workforce in APAC is the potential displacement and disruption of existing jobs and industries, especially those that rely on low-skilled and manual labor. AI will also create new ethical and social issues, such as privacy, bias, accountability, and trust. Therefore, it is important to ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a responsible and inclusive manner, that respects human rights and values, and that benefits all stakeholders.

What’s your favourite thing about AI?

My favourite thing about AI is its ability to generate novel and innovative solutions and content that can inspire and amaze humans. For example, AI can write poems, stories, songs, code, and more, using its own words and knowledge. I find this aspect of AI very fascinating and exciting, as it shows the potential and diversity of AI creativity.

AI can also improve productivity and efficiency, by automating and optimising various tasks and processes, such as data analysis, decision making, customer service, and more. AI can help humans save time, money, and resources, and focus on more strategic and creative work. AI can also enhance quality and accuracy, by reducing errors and biases, and providing insights and recommendations.

What is one advice you would like to give organisations when it comes to AI adoption ?

One advice I would like to give organisations when it comes to AI adoption is to start small and scale up gradually, by identifying and prioritising the most relevant and valuable use cases and applications of AI for their business goals and customer needs. I would also advise them to involve and empower their employees and customers in the AI journey, by providing them with the necessary training, support, and feedback. Lastly, I would advise them to adopt a culture of experimentation and learning, by testing and iterating their AI solutions, and measuring and improving their outcomes and impacts.

How NFTs create new opportunities in the entertainment industry

How NFTs create new opportunities in the entertainment industry

The non-fungible token (NFT) community Arabian Camels is making a $50 million Hollywood film called “Antara.” The movie makers recently announced a highly anticipated NFT drop for the project, which allows holders to partly fund the movie, own a share of digital rights and benefit from its box office achievements.

This project is just a glimpse into what NFTs could achieve in the world of entertainment.

NFTs started out as standalone pieces of art and memes by individual creators and today is a massive industry that’s swarming with innovative NFT projects today. In 2021 alone, an estimated $41 billion worth of NFTs were sold, which is a testament to their growing popularity and value.

Major industries like art and gaming have benefited from NFTs already, and recent developments suggest that the realm of entertainment could be next in line to receive a transformative blow from the NFT industry.

Integrating NFTs into the movie business

Worth over $2.2 trillion, the global entertainment industry isn’t only one of the most valuable industries in the world but also a huge part of our culture. Over the span of a century, the industry has never failed to amaze its audience with enticing movies, TV shows, music, and it has stood the test of time, staying relevant even today.

Transforming the entertainment industry

NFTs in entertainment have the potential to completely transform the way films are made, produced, and distributed, democratizing this unilateral industry in the process. To understand this better, we go back to Arabian Camels’ Antara project. This big-budget Hollywood epic is one of the first films to be produced by the NFT community, demonstrating the concept of movie NFTs.

For the makers and producers of films, this means that they’re no longer limited by budget constraints or the difficult financing methods of top production houses. Movie NFTs provide a way for them to distribute part ownership of the movie to its viewers, raising the required funds in the process. This is especially useful for budding filmmakers and artists who are hardly visible in the industry. Specific roles like “producer” can be represented and offered as an NFT, making its owner the producer of the film. And through all the stages of filmmaking, NFTs can be offered as a way to include the community in the decision-making process, market the project and build a loyal fanbase beforehand.

“NFTs present a tremendous opportunity for mixed-reality world-building experiences, deepening user engagement and interaction and fostering a community for our hundreds of millions of global consumers to create one-of-a-kind digital collections and Autograph is the optimal destination for this discovery,” claims Jenefer Brown, Executive VP & Head of Lionsgate Global.

The NFTs to be released could range anywhere from character avatars to video clips from the films.

Now, in the case of emerging artists, technicians, musicians and directors, NFTs could be their on-ramp to popularity within the industry. The fact that Ben Mauro, a Hollywood concept artist, earned more in seven minutes with his NFT collection than he has in the 12 years of working in Hollywood is telling. Just like Mauro, these emerging artists could use NFTs in unique ways to represent their talent, garner an audience and increase their visibility in the industry.

Movie merchandising is another realm where NFTs in entertainment could make a huge difference. Fans have long been collecting posters, clothing and character figures from their favorite films, and NFTs add a new dimension to this. The rarity of NFTs gives fans the satisfaction of owning a part of the film that cannot be replicated. Celebrities can also make the most of this opportunity by creating NFT merchandise collections for their fanbase. This particular trend has picked up quite recently and celebrities like Eminem, Justin Beiber, SnoopDogg and Jimmy Fallon have all followed suit.

If we look at the whole picture, the integration of NFTs into the entertainment industry allows users to actively participate every step of the way. Both viewers and creators have the chance to connect beyond the screen and thus take the industry to unimaginable dimensions.

How NFTs open closed doors

Since its inception, the entertainment industry has been opaque in its operations, shutting down external interference. This stringent way of operation vastly limited opportunities for emerging artists trying to make it in the industry. But with the NFT integration, the entertainment industry is now opening its door to a wider section of artists, producers, and viewers. While producers and creators have new ways of monetizing their work and raising funds, viewers now have a way to directly participate in the industry’s happenings, not only to fund films but also earn from their gain. This symbiotic relationship between viewers and creators could change the face of global entertainment in the years to come.
