I'm Jonathan Capehart and welcome to Capehart.

Last week, I brought you my December 5th conversation about AI with Shamsanker,

Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President at Palantir Technologies.

Today, listen to the fascinating conversation I had with Cristobo Valenzuela,

co-founder and CEO of Runway, a company that uses AI to make video content.

If you have an idea, Runway can turn it into a video.

Basically, Valenzuela has created a company that puts movie making in the hands of everyday people.

Hollywood films is the history of technology.

Like we only have Hollywood because we have great technology.

The camera is one of the major breakthroughs, I think, for art.

Tell us the origin story.

What was the catalyst?

It's a catalyst.

And with my co-founders at the time, we met at school and started building this idea of taking AI and thinking about it for artists and for creatives and for filmmakers.
