The Concept: AI. Issue #0000010
Love it or hate it, AI is here to stay. Over time, its uses have become more focused, more regulated (see the WGA strike), and perhaps more reasonable. And while that won't always be the case as the technology becomes better and smarter, it is up to the creatives to dictate its use (and its abuse)—at least where we can.
