1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator AI Investor Forum: With Daniel Cohen, General Partner at Viola Ventures (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: Interesting. If you have more example, you can discuss them. I’m very interested in seeing what is actually fine traction in the customer base.

Daniel Cohen: I’m on the board of a company called Lightricks that is doing a lot of work in the text-to-video space. The text-to-video space is in the limelight after OpenAI released Sora. What we want to think about is, how can AI create not only a short clip, but a full 5-10 minute video? The big challenge is to get fast AI-created videos results, similar to how you can get a story in text within seconds.

Colors: Wilderness IV

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Wilderness IV

Sramana Mitra: Which ones do you categorize as the ones that are going to be the harder to deal with?

Daniel Cohen: There are areas in the world that technology has disrupted and yet not disrupted at all. If you look at Healthcare, on one hand, of course our life’s changed completely, but then there’re some things that are exactly the same.
