UNLEARN podcast series continues with Emma Barbato ahead of October AI Video Summit
The UNLEARN podcast series continues ahead of October’s AI Video for Media & Advertising Summit in Sydney, with the latest episode featuring Emma Barbato.
Hosted by Jonny Peters, Programme Director at AI Video Summit, each episode of UNLEARN sits down with a Summit speaker to explore their background in advertising and media, the start-up and innovation stories that shaped their thinking, the AI video and AI technology exciting them today, and where they believe the industry is headed.
Emma Barbato is a producer, creative strategist and pioneer in the emerging field of Hyper-Media, combining interactive AI, narrative design and audience participation to create new forms of storytelling. In 2024, she created and produced Bruce Ryder, recognised as Australia’s first custom AI fictional celebrity and winner of Best AI Influencer 2025. Drawing on more than two decades of experience across television, brand strategy and creative direction, Barbato specialises in building immersive narrative worlds where audiences become active participants rather than passive viewers. Her work has become a recognised case study in AI storytelling, audience engagement and the future of interactive media, leading to speaking engagements across media, technology and innovation sectors.
