From Script to Screen: Navigating Risk, Returns, and Opportunity | Global Conference 2026
Matthew Belloni, Drew Goddard, Cord Jefferson, Rory Kennedy, Adele Lim, Amy Redford
Industry leaders and creators convened to analyze the convergence of artificial intelligence, corporate risk aversion, and shifting audience values, identifying a systemic undervaluation of human creativity amidst an efficiency-driven market. The discussion highlighted how streamers' reliance on algorithms and "fear reflex" decision-making has decimated traditional apprenticeship pipelines while stifling diverse, politically challenging narratives in favor of safe, celebrity-centric projects. Despite these structural barriers, panelists argued that the inherent unpredictability of human emotion remains superior to AI simulation, predicting a future where audiences increasingly seek tangible community and authentic storytelling through independent funding models and live experiences.

The Next Episode: Shaping the Future of Entertainment and Media | Global Conference 2024
Matthew Belloni, Justin Baldoni, Brian Grazer, Lisa Joy, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Ynon Kreiz, Janine Sherman Barrois
Industry leaders describe a post-bubble entertainment landscape where studios prioritize IP adaptations and franchises to mitigate risk while mid-tier originals strive to achieve viral success through organic audience growth. Strategic shifts are underway as traditional toy manufacturers pivot toward IP management and creators leverage co-ownership structures to secure better terms amidst fears of consolidation that could stifle artistic diversity. Although artificial intelligence is expected to democratize production, experts caution that human curation remains essential to differentiate authentic work from algorithmic clichés in a market defined by financial caution and fragmented consumer attention.
