The next few Tuesdays, The Verge's flagship podcast The Vergecast is showcasing a miniseries dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in industries that are often overlooked, hosted by Verge senior reporter Ashley Carman. This week, the series focuses on AI for the video world. More specifically, we're looking at how AI is being used as a tool to help people streamline the process of creating video content. Yes, this might mean software taking on a bigger role in the very human act of creativity, but what if instead of replacing us, machine learning tools could be used to assist our work? That's what Scott Prevost, VP of Adobe Sensei -- Adobe's machine learning platform -- envisions for Adobe's AI products. "Sensei was founded on this firm belief that we have that AI is going to democratize and amplify human creativity, but not replace it," Prevost says.

Humanity has dreamed about developing an intellect equal to or greater than our own since the dawn of science fiction in a story called Frankenstein. There are several movies in which, there were several artificial intelligence characters. They acted like human beings.

Good thing it's Halloween season, because I'm not sure whether I should be scared of all these big tech announcements. Earlier this week, we saw Amazon roll out (in one case literally) a variety of devices they believe will make your life easier.

Then there's Astro, the seemingly adorable robot who rolls out your home to keep you safe and attend to your every needs.

Seventeen-year-old guitar prodigy Francis Vendetti lives with his mother in a small Colorado town that is still in thrall to its most famous export: Francis's late uncle, a platinum-selling folk singer. Francis feels inevitable pressure to continue the family trade, and, in preparation for his highly anticipated first public performance in town, writes a suite of Dylan-esque tracks about toil and loss. Except the act is an affectation: Francis is, at heart and by temperament, a prog-rock wailer who dreams of playing high-gain, euphoric guitar solos over the swell of a supportive orchestra. When he's visited by a sympathetic alien being who observes: "You wear folk like a cheap suit", Francis swaps his skinny Levi's for an LED-encrusted catsuit and sets off across the Milky Way to shred for an audience of intergalactic concertgoers. This is true space opera territory – Ziggy-era Bowie meets The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – and far from typical video game subject matter.
