Bedtime MET Rhyme Brought to you by AI learned from a WABE volunteer. In the world of sound and screen, Where bright lights shimmer, unseen, There's a field where tech meets art, A place where every role takes part. **Media and Entertainment Tech** we say, Or simply **MET**, the future’s way. It powers streams, it drives the show, From films we love to radios. Cameras roll and mics record, Mixing magic, every chord. Broadcast signals, pixels bright, Bringing stories into light. With MET, the show goes live, In every frame, the dreams arrive. From digital sound to streaming waves, It’s MET that guides what the audience craves. Behind the screens, behind the stage, It writes the story on each page. From virtual realms to sound so sweet, It’s **MET** that makes the magic complete.

We are thrilled to applaud Gov. Bill Lee and the Tennessee legislature for passing the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, leading the way in protecting artists and songwriters from misuses of AI technology. We believe providing protections for the unique voices of songwriters and artists is necessary to ensure music creators will continue to write the music that moves our world. AI holds great promise for music creators, but they should have a choice regarding when, if, and how to engage with AI. We will continue to work with Human Artistry Campaign to ensure the potential abuses from these new technologies do not devalue the work of music creators. #MusicMovesOurWorld Getty Images for Human Artistry Campaign

For those curious about my recent activities in DC, it's all about the NO FAKES ACT. Vermillio has collaborated with our customers and Senators for nearly a year on this crucial initiative. Licensing plays a pivotal role in #AuthenticatedAI. Proud to advocate for AuthenticatedAI to safeguard the voices and likenesses of talent and owners of iconic IP worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates and continued dedication to this cause. Vermillio quote in the release: “The NO FAKES Act is an admirable first step in laying the groundwork to protect talent and the largest IP holders while still allowing for innovation,” said Dan Neely, Co-Founder and CEO, Vermillio. “Deepfakes are the tip of the iceberg, and talent and entertainment companies must properly protect themselves. We look forward to continuing our work with Senators Coons, Blackburn, Tillis, and Klobuchar, who understand the importance of using innovative technologies to address potential gaps that allow scammers, tech platforms, and internet opportunists to create unauthorized AI.” Read more about the NO FAKES ACT here: https://lnkd.in/gx5eAsw3

When speaking about AI-generated deepfakes the NO FAKES Act represents a significant step forward in protecting individuals' rights against misuse. With strong bipartisan support and backing from the music and entertainment industries, this bill has the potential to effectively safeguard personal likeness and voice, addressing a critical need for regulation in the rapidly advancing field of AI while carefully balancing free speech considerations. Take a look at our, Vermillio, CEO Dan Neely comments on #authenticatedai and the NO FAKES ACT below. #deepfakes #generativeai #nofakesact

I got early access to KLING - AI Videos new text to video creation tool and decided to put it through its paces. Overall, I am quite impressed with the image quality, consistency, and performance quality of the model. It's great that there's a true competitor to OpenAI's Sora. Here is my horror concept trailer called "redwood".
