Georgia Lewis Anderson on Artificial Intelligence Unlocking The Future of Creativity & Journalism

The 2020s have been, more than any other, the decade of AI. But what is AI – and should we trust it? Join us for an enlightening episode of Blocks2Bags as we explore the dynamic fusion of creativity and technology with AI consultant Georgia Lewis Anderson.

In this episode, @blocks2bags our guest Georgia Lewis Anderson sits down with hosts Bejay Mulenga MBE, Sebuh Mesfin, and Aaliyah Ahmed to demystify AI's impact on creative careers, and the job market in the face of AI. Georgia talks about her time working on the voice and personalities of the Microsoft and Google AI teams, and her switch from broadcast journalism with SBTV to the tech world. Her insights reveal AI's potential as an ally rather than an adversary, navigating the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and content creation’s influence on journalism.

💼 Here are some key BLOCK GEMS from the interview:

1) Artificial Intelligence Creating Positive Change: AI is only as scary as we make it – instead of working against it, we should work with it to reshape the future of our various industries.

2) Creativity Vs Tech - There Is A Middle Ground: Creative fields are incredibly important, and while things like the Writer’s Strike are warnings of AI going too far, there are ways for us to mesh these interests to create a more efficient workspace.

3) The Importance of Curbing Misinformation: Fake news is rife in today’s day and age, so make sure that you’re not getting stuck in the echo chambers of the algorithm and looking to multiple perspectives and sources in research.

4) Content Creation Is The Future: New as it is, content creation is only on the rise, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping anytime soon. Adapting to this shift means seeing how we can integrate it into our workspaces, and use it to revolutionise the future.
