The film director winning awards with AI | Ben Hansford
Ben Hansford argues AI is becoming a creative crew for filmmakers, not just a tool, and shows how he uses it to win commercial work, teach students, and prototype new media formats. He also explains how shrinking budgets, changing audience behavior, and a lack of comic-book illustrators are pushing Hollywood and creators toward AI-assisted workflows.

Nan Ransohoff argues carbon removal is a market-design and public-goods mobilization problem, not just a climate-tech problem.

AI’s next big test: the public market
Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger discuss how a wave of AI IPOs could reshape frontier-lab incentives while broadening AI’s economic gains through public ownership. They also dig into how coding agents will redefine software engineering and how AI-generated music collides with copyright, creativity, and new forms of expression.

Satya Nadella argues AI is becoming the operating system of the firm, where companies must manage both human capital and “token capital” to compound their unique expertise. He also outlines Microsoft’s enterprise AI, agent, and silicon strategy, while stressing safety, education reform, and public trust as the real constraints on adoption.
