Testimonials
From the moment our team had the first meeting with Arielle Friedman, it was quickly evident just how vast her knowledge of Artificial Intelligence goes. What excited me, personally, was also how grounded her views and approach to this new technology is. She never leads with fear, but, rather, seeks to understand and learn how we can integrate AI into our lives in a way that is additive, never destructive. Having her consult on our film has been beyond invaluable and I know will help take this story to even greater heights.
