Artificial intelligence use has recently become top of mind for many of us, especially those of us in creative industries like sound and music. So, I wasn’t completely surprised when Soundgirls invited me to take part in an panel at their upcoming virtual conference regarding AI in the sound industry. I had an intensely fun and engaging first conversation with the other panelists, each of whom are in different areas of the sound industry, where we shared our personal hopes and fears. But it occurred to me that I would love to hear what your thoughts are on AI.
This past fall, I took part in a panel put together by Soundgirls, and hosted by Sony Studios, called Career Paths in Film and TV Sound. This was a kickass panel with audio professionals from all different backgrounds, with all different backstories and insights, who are at the top of their game. And our careers are just getting started. We talked about what drew us to the sound profession in the first place. We talked about working our way up with unerring drive and determination from the machine room, the tape vault, the intern desk. We talked about staying all night to observe mixers and read manuals. This was a panel about tenacity. And it just happened to be led by women.
