Since then there has been a rapid evolution of the technology as predicted by many. Suddenly companies like Runway ML (founded in 2018) were everywhere. And seemingly overnight (but in reality years of development), AI video evolved from simple animations to a true storytelling tool. Below is an example of how AI video capabilities have improved over the last six months.

The importance of unions to protect workers helped significant protections for writer's from the Writer's Guild. Actors part of SAG-AFTRA accepted a deal with lots of grey area.

It's clear the landscape will look much different, especially following recently deals between SAG-AFTRA and Replica voice studios and the major text-to-voice advancements that have been made by Eleven Labs.AI Video Creation OnchainArtists, especially those who release on chain have been experimenting with AI for much more than album covers. And while not all were video, there were more than 2k submissions in the AI Art Category alone for We Love The Art.

I'm sure the advancements when we check in for 2025 are going to be even bigger than the ones highlighted today. What do you think about AI? How are you using it in creative work? Do you think there's space for businesses that aren't multinational tech companies to build scalable and sustainable products? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
