Keke Palmer and UCLA Create New Artist-in-Residence Collaboration

Published by Daniella Wilson

Starting this fall, UCLA students will have the opportunity to learn a thing or two from Professor Palmer. Actress and entrepreneur Keke Palmer is teaming with the university’s School of Theater Film and Television on a new 5-year artist-in-residence collaboration — one that will see the I Love Boosters star leading quarterly workshops on campus. Significant to the partnership is Palmer’s digital media platform, KeyTV. The enterprise, which she launched in 2022, has already produced 29 original projects from an exclusively BIPOC pool of creators.  “UCLA TFT is a place where artists learn to be in practice, to experience trial and error, to take projects off the page,” said Palmer. “That is also the mission of KeyTV. We know that education is key to democratizing opportunities and I am eager to both learn from and support UCLA TFT students. It is no small feat to pursue higher education, especially at a prestigious institution. I look forward to listening, encouraging and offering them more than one chance to succeed.” The initiative, “From Blocking to Broadcast,” aims …

I wondered if you could talk a little bit about audio as a data input and the advancements technologies like large language models, LLMs, are enabling.  Sam: Absolutely. Audio is really a rich data source that’s added a new dimension to AI capabilities. If you think about speech recognition or natural language processing, they’ve had significant advances due to audio data that’s provided for them. And to Brendan’s point about trust and accuracy, I like to think of the products that Shure enables customers with as essentially the eyes and ears in the room for leading AI companions just like the Zoom AI Companion. You really need that pristine audio input to be able to trust the accuracy of what the AI generates. These AI Companions have been very instrumental in the way we do business every day. I mean, between transcription, speaker attributions, …

Storytelling and the Hidden Work of Collaboration

Storytelling and the Hidden Work of Collaboration

Published by Jenni Sidey

Responding to complex challenges often requires joint operations between multiple teams of experts. But effective collaboration between teams with different cultures, incentives, and ways of working does not happen by accident. Under pressure, inter-team friction can easily derail coordination, fragment effort, and create anti-synergy, situations where two plus two effectively equals negative three. High-performing organizations understand this risk and work proactively to build and maintain strong relationships between teams. High-performing individuals do the same at a personal level. They make the teams around them easier to work with, not harder. In this article, we will look at three common ways teams interact and explore practical ideas for improving inter-team relationships in complex environments. To make these dynamics concrete, consider three hypothetical teams. Team A is the team we are part of and the one responsible for a critical operation. Teams B and C are other expert teams that Team A depends on to get the job done. In a hospital, Team A might be an intensive care unit working with neurology and trauma teams to …
