Using AI and smart devices to make considered talent introductions in media through COVID and beyond

该项目的目的是创建一个在线网络产业，在发现和委托新的和多样化的创意人才时，增加媒体部门内部的面对面网络。长期以来，电视/电影制作人和制作公司一直难以轻松获得新鲜、多样化的人才，因此他们依靠经纪人、开发制片人、网络活动以及经常是口头传播来为银幕内外的角色物色人才。在2019冠状病毒病之后以及之后，这项技术将重现人们在网络活动/会议上相遇时“在现场”发生的意外发现，同时更进一步，创建由于现有和新的结构性障碍（旅行、成本、可用性、可见性、无意识偏见、专业网络泡沫等）而在现实世界中可能不会发生的介绍。

The aim of this project is to create an online networked industry that augments the face-to-face networking within the media sector when discovering and commissioning new and diverse creative talent.TV/film commissioners and production companies have long struggled with easy access to fresh, diverse talent and so rely on agents, development producers, networking events and often word of mouth to bring forward talent for both on and off-screen roles.During the aftermath of Covid-19 and beyond this technology will recreate the serendipity that happens 'on the ground' when people meet at networking events/conferences, while going one step further and creating introductions which may not have happened in the real world due to both existing and new structural barriers (travel, cost, availability, visibility, unconscious bias, professional network bubbles etc).
