The Future of Acting
With storytelling extraordinaire
Megan Davis
Simon Waller and Megan Davis discuss a future where AI has been used to replace human actors. Is this the end of acting or will an innate desire for people to express themselves, embrace emotion and express themselves to others prevail?
Episode 6
Welcome to
the future with friends
Each episode I invite a friend of mine onto the show to discuss the future of any topic they choose. I challenge them to write a future scenario set at least five years from now that captures their hopes and dreams, or quite possibly, their worst fears and nightmares. We then get to spend a little time together exploring their chosen future, why it matters to them and what might happen next.
This is the Future with Friends.
