Artificial Intelligence & AR/VR Will Transform Storytelling

A story is powerful because it relates to the audience and allows the audience to put themselves not only in the shoes of the story and the storyteller but oftentimes allows them to feel part of the story. Augmented reality, virtual reality and the adoption of artificial intelligence will soon allow the audience to truly put on the shoes in the story and interact with emotion and dynamic feelings transforming how we experience digital stories. This is why I love podcasting because when it comes to storytelling audio-only content allows for contextual emotions to be facilitated as well as opening up the listener's curiosity, giving them the freedom to explore. What I want you to start thinking about is that as we add more technology to automate the repetitive tasks, what new questions will you be able to ask and what tasks will you now be able to prioritize. I believe that we're going allow ourselves to do what humans do best which is truly emotionally connect, adding context allowing us to see, to feel and to understand people better.
