In this episode, we hosted a very special show about Artificial Intelligence (or AI), particularly in its potential role in Second Life.
This was a discussion filmed with a live audience at our studio on Garden of Dreams, to discuss an issue that is being debated across not just the Second Life grid, but across the real world, and that’s the rise of Artificial Intelligence or AI.
We assembled a panel to discuss the issues in front of a live studio audience and we were joined by Cain Maven, designer and builder, well known for Maven Homes and Quantum Luxury Homes, by Chantal Harvey, machinematographer and the convenor of the group meetings for Machinima Mondays, Talia Tokugawa, the artist, and Dorian Cao, who was accompanied by his own AI, and interpreted what it said for us.
In addition, there were contributions from the audience, and examples of AI usage in Second Life, particularly from the machinima community.
It made for a really fascinating – and informative show.
Here are some of the AI creations that you will see on the show:

There is also a video that Lorin Tone created, showing how AI can create music – and Lorin is teaching courses on this at the Happy Hippo Building School.
