The Event

As AI commoditizes content creation, the ability to architect meaningful narratives has become a critical human skill. On April 24, Hollywood “Story Doctor” Richard Krevolin ’86—an award-winning screenwriter, author of bestselling books, and former Adjunct Professor of Dramatic Writing at USC and UCLA—will explore the power of the creator and show how to use AI to amplify—rather than replace—the human heart of storytelling in the age of artificial intelligence.
