AI Readiness Project with Hunter Lee Canning: AI, Authenticity, and the Art of Showing Up
Description
Join us for a rich and refreshingly real conversation with Hunter Lee Canning, Chief Creative Officer of Plumwheel—the “production studio that fits in your pocket.” From Broadway stages to browser tabs, Hunter blends storytelling, visual creativity, and technical playfulness to explore one of today’s biggest questions: Can AI help us show up more fully, or does it risk erasing what’s real?
In this episode of The AI Readiness Project, we dive into the evolving tension between automation and authenticity—touching on avatars, ethical overwhelm, creator burnout, and the awkward-but-liberating journey of clicking “record” without a script. Hunter shares how Plumwheel makes powerful video content in everyday spaces—cars, kitchens, couches—by putting connection first, not perfection.
