Women in Technology Hollywood (WiTH) has launched a new video and podcast series highlighting its members’ work in professional development.
The series — dubbed “Seizing the AI Moment” — kicked off with the presentation “Game On” by “Tech Picasso” iAsia Brown, senior producer and game operations leader with Xbox Game Studios, hosted by WiTH’s Filiz Bahmanpour, head of media and entertainment at Tavan, and Margarita Lam, client partner and head of media, entertainment and gaming at Point B.
The discussion saw Brown offer insights into the transformative role of AI in gaming, and shared stories about her journey in the industry.
AI is transforming gaming — from smarter non-player characters to inclusive storytelling — and shaping the future of innovation and representation, Brown said, and AI will continue to revolutionize gaming and empower communities via creativity, accessibility, and connection.
“We’re thrilled to announce the release of our latest episode of ‘Seizing the AI Moment’ on Connection Corner, brought to you by Women in Technology Hollywood,” WiTH said in a statement. “This time, we’re diving deep into the world of gaming with the incredible iAsia Brown, a.k.a. ‘Tech Picasso.’ Get ready to explore how AI is reshaping the gaming landscape and what it means for the future of creativity and community.”
The episode followed Brown’s journey from player to developer, looked at how AI is breaking down language barriers in gaming, and offered insight into how AI can help create a healthier online gaming environment by identifying and mitigating toxic behaviors.
“AI will never replace the artist,” Brown said. “It’s a thought partner, a collaborator, opening new worlds of creativity and connection.”
