The Global Movement Giving a Voice to AI Storytellers | PJ Way, AI Film 3 - Imagine AI Live - E125

Imagine AI Podcast

In this inspiring episode of the Imagine AI Live Podcast, Chris Madden sits down with PJ Way, founder of AI Film 3, to explore how AI and generative tools are changing lives—starting with PJ’s own daughter. What began as a father helping his nonverbal daughter express herself through art has evolved into a global movement bringing AI-generated film, music, fashion, and storytelling to the mainstream. We talk about the rapid growth of the AI Film 3 festival, the global creator community PJ has helped foster, and what it means to lead with inclusion, expression, and voice. From Web3 roots to partnerships in Paris, Dubai, and soon ASU’s Phoenix MIX Center, PJ’s mission is as human as it is high-tech.
