Navigating the AI Revolution: Creativity Meets Technology

About this episode

The episode explores the intersection of AI and creativity, focusing on the implications for authorship and ownership in a world increasingly influenced by generative technology.

AI is changing how we create. In this week's episode of Power & Impact , I sit down with Elley Cheng, CEO and co-founder of Useful Arts, to examine what happens to creativity when intelligence becomes programmable. Trained as an engineer, Elley now focuses on advancing creative rights in a world where generative AI is built on the work of artists, writers, and musicians. We discuss how intelligence reflects the systems behind it, shaping whose work is elevated and how value is assigned. As AI shifts from assisting creators to generating content at scale, the stakes center on authorship, ownership, and the future of creative labor. Co-hosted by my Worth Media Group colleague Eva Crouse, this conversation looks past the tools to the larger responsibility we carry: to protect human originality and ensure creativity remains grounded in human judgment and intention in an AI-native world.
