Jeremy Sink,
Global GenMedia Lead, Google Cloud
Jeremy works with the largest studios around the world testing out new and emerging generative AI technologies. His career spans over 25 years, working in financial services, connected devices (IoT), and most recently media and entertainment. He is currently researching how motion capture footage can be used to train models to produce emotive and pixel perfect novel content. A product of the 90s, Jeremy is all about flip phones, hi-fi audio equipment, Dawson's Creek, and The Matrix films.
Erich Archer,
Emmy Award–winning creative executive and founder of CGA Creative, a studio at the forefront of generative video. With 20+ years in television and digital media, he helps brands and creators harness AI to design cinematic worlds, launch new formats, and collapse the gap between imagination and output. His acclaimed projects, from AI documentaries to global brand campaigns, demonstrate how emerging tools can expand, not replace, human creativity. Learn more at www.cgacreative.com.
Daniel Pillis,
Assistant Professor of Virtual Production at Emerson College, where he researches generative AI film, immersive media, and human-robot interaction. He holds a Master of Media Arts and Sciences from the MIT Media Lab, where he studied under HCI pioneer Hiroshi Ishii, and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon, where he worked with computing pioneer Ivan Sutherland. His collaboration, AI Theatre, which used AI-generated characters to help individuals practice LGBTQIA+ advocacy, was published at ACM IUI, featured in MIT News, and presented at HarvardXR and IEEE VR. His work on real-time stable diffusion for virtual production won Best Presentation at MIT's Generative AI for Design Workshop in 2025. Prior to his academic career, he worked in the contemporary art world with gallerists Elizabeth Dee, David Zwirner, and Murray Guy, and has exhibited at the Warhol Museum, the Mint Museum, the Leslie Lohman Museum of Queer Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, and been covered by Vice, MIT News, and Atlas Obscura.
