Hackl and Kebler discuss the retirement of game development engine Unity’s CEO, John Riccitiello, and the future of gaming. They talked about what brands need to look out for when launching activations in online video games like Fortnite and how to protect kids in virtual worlds.
They move on to artificial intelligence and voice print rights. Kebler explains how hosting a podcast gives AI more than enough data to recreate his voice. Hackl considers using an AI clone of her voice for her next ebook.
Finally, Hackl and Kebler go into space with Prada and Axiom Space, which are creating a space suite for NASA for use in 2025. Kebler contemplates the material merit of Prada space suites.
