Catch Synthetic Content in the Wild at DMLA’s main event
Long promised and much misunderstood, licensed synthetic content is finally here. Platforms generating lensless media from algorithms are rapidly pushing photorealistic content into distribution channels and onto surfaces that until recently were the exclusive domain of organically created photography and video.
The DMLA conference’s Synthetic in the Wild panel will feature industry pioneers and experts:
Michael Osterrieder - Founder and CEO of VAIsual, a company generating licensed stock media from algorithms. Michael has two decades of IP licensing experience, a portfolio of more than 50,000 images and footage clips, has sold more than 500,000 media licenses and participated in numerous design and online marketing projects.
Victor Riparbelli - Victor is Co-founder and CEO of Synthesia, the world's first and largest enterprise AI video generation platform.
Ashish Jaiman - Ashish is the Director of Technology and Operations in the Customer Security and Trust organization at Microsoft. His mission is to help customers improve their security posture and defend against cyber attacks.
Mark Milstein - Mark is forever fascinated by all things visual and digital and is on a mission to revolutionize motion content search and discovery through his role as CEO at Microstocksolutions and his involvement with the IPTC video metadata standard's committee.
Thomas Smith, Moderator - CEO of Gado Images, Tom is an inventor and entrepreneur, and the creator of the open source Gado 2 archival scanning robot.
The panel will dive into the current state of the art, the power of clean, biometrically released datasets, the technology behind all of this and how this big bang moment will impact our industry and beyond.
Join us online for the 26th Digital Media Licensing Conference Oct 25-29 and celebrate our 70th Anniversary of serving as the united voice of the digital media licensing industry.

Gado Images catches the eye of the Times
New York Times technology correspondent Cade Metz featured Gado Images in a major story about OpenAI’s Codex platform, as well as its 10-plus years using artificial intelligence to process historical archives.
Codex is a groundbreaking new AI platform that can write computer code automatically using only simple instructions written in plain language. Based on its previous work with OpenAI’s GPT-3, Gado Images was given the exciting job of testing Codex just five days after the system launched.
Gado Images is a valued member of DMLA.
