    Tech, Talent, and Entertainment: New Opportunities for Creators and Consumers | Asia Summit 2025

    Sharanjit Leyl, Jay Brown, Patrick Lee, Janet Yang, Shurangjit Leal, Verbal

    Chancellor Shurangjit Leal moderated a panel featuring industry leaders including Janet Yang, Jay Brown, Patrick Lee, and Ryu "Verbal" Yong-ji to examine the convergence of artificial intelligence with global entertainment and cultural production. The discussion balanced optimism about AI as a collaborative tool and a driver for democratized content creation against significant concerns regarding copyright, compensation, and the lack of human emotion in algorithmic generation. Panelists further analyzed how coordinated government support and superior storytelling have allowed Asian markets to transition from imitation to global innovation, while advising emerging creators to prioritize authenticity, ownership structures, and deep niche expertise over fleeting trends.

    From Asian Excellence to Creative Excellence | Milken Institute Global Conference 2023

    Curtis Chin, Daniel Kim, DANIEL DAE KIM, Padma Lakshmi, Eric Nam, Janet Yang

    Leading figures such as Janet Yang, Padma Lakshmi, and Daniel Dae Kim convened to analyze the historic success of *Everything Everywhere All At Once* while exposing systemic financial barriers that have long hindered Asian American creators in Hollywood. The discussion highlighted the urgent need to dismantle the "model minority" myth and leverage collective economic power to fund independent production companies, moving beyond the limited "wealthy diaspora" narratives that currently dominate the market. By advocating for infrastructure built by the community itself and embracing diverse storytelling through film, music, and emerging technologies, the panel aims to transform a temporary surge in visibility into a permanent, inclusive industry standard.
