Creator Economy: Platforms, Trends & Social Impact

Creativity in the Age of A.I.: Why Infrastructure Matters

Luke Arrigoni, technologist and founder of Loti AI, explores why the future of human creativity in the age of generative A.I. depends not on the tools themselves, but on the systems that support them. Arrigoni argues that the creator economy cannot thrive without the infrastructure to ensure attribution, consent and compensation at scale. For A.I. to expand creative opportunity responsibly, he argues, it must be underpinned by frameworks that make trust, accountability and collaboration a standard part of innovation.

Regulators Start the Clock, Engineers Build the Rails: Can the Creator Economy Scale?

Murad Salikhov, founder of VC firm Schwarzwald Capital, examines the widening gap between how digital labor is evolving and how legacy financial systems still operate. As infrastructure shifts and regulators step in, Salikhov argues that the real opportunity lies with those building fast, compliant, creator-first systems designed for a borderless, digital workforce.

Control, Consent and the Creator Economy

We’ve been taught to fear A.I. as the great corrupter of human creativity. But as Nic Young, co-founder of Oh, points out, the nightmare isn’t on the horizon—it’s here. Through a provocative parable of a Digital Twin gone rogue, Young reveals a deeper truth: many content creators are already trapped in exploitative relationships, not with machines, but with their human managers. A.I., in contrast, could be the tool that finally puts creators back in control.
