TIMECODES 0:00 - Intro 0:14 - AI Impact on Job Growth 0:42 - Biotechnology and Guangzhou 1:35 - Why China is the Next World Leader 3:02 - Closing Host: So let's talk about more of those opportunities with Ari Zoldan, the CEO of Quantum Media Group. He joins us from New York. So Ari, now we're seeing a big focus on startups, robotics, and AI. Do you think all of this will help with job growth? Or will it hurt job growth? Ari Zoldan: No, I mean, this is, this is the 800-pound opportunity for China. Obviously, it starts with creativity, it starts with innovation. Obviously, at the end of the day, it comes, you know, it comes down to the execution aspect of it. But this is only going to spur job growth. And I think it's going to be, it's going to be incredible for China and something that I think China for the people of China, they've been waiting for a very, very long time for this opportunity. So I think it's great. Host: Obviously held there in Guangzhou, the center of all that there in China. What about biotechnology? What are some of the pros and cons of genetic engineering, especially when it comes to food insecurity, climate change, health risks, and some of the things that a lot of countries around the world are dealing with? Ari Zoldan: Sure. Well, it's a very, it's a, it's a good question. There's a lot of sensitivities, obviously, around biotechnology and, you know, engineering, food concerns, and there's going to be there's no question there's going to be regulation. But I think you know, what's happening in Guangzhou right now, the openness, the Innovation Summit, they're opening up the doors to something in China that they've never had before. So although there will be oversight, there will be regulation, but the fact that and especially Guangzhou is opening themselves and China's opening themselves to creativity to innovation to openness is really a very, very unique opportunity. Host: So that being said, how are international companies with all the representatives there, the CEOs? What are they reading into what has come out so far of this form? What are they hoping to get out of it? Ari Zoldan: Well, I mean, it starts with a conversation, right? That's sort of where That's where openness starts from. And then understanding China's roadmap, understanding what sectors, what sectors that China is going to be focused on, you know, is it going to be artificial intelligence? Is it going to be biotechnology? Is it going to be big data? And I'm willing to bet it's going to be those four sectors, that without a doubt, China's going to be the world's leader. Host: And obviously, you know, China is trying to send a message as well by hosting this big forum. So do you think overall, globalization is the big theme here? And what would you say, will be the big takeaway? Ari Zoldan: That's a, that's a very good question. I think the answer to that is the fact that figuring out how government can and can and will be able to support innovation and support entrepreneurs. Look, I spend a lot of time in China, speaking to corporations about building internal innovation systems and processes and really fostering that kind of creativity. And when I did it 10 and 15 years ago, people would look at me with three heads. Today, when I do it internally at these corporations, they completely get it. But more so is that they're really really focused and very passionate about actually executing on this idea. Host: All right, Ari Zoldan. Thank you so much for your insight.

Ari Zoldan, CEO of Quantum Media Group, appears on i24News. He discusses why Facebook is getting Kerry Washington to star in a bite-size drama and joining the scripted TV sphere. TIMECODES 0:00 - Intro 0:58 - Facebook, Apple, Google etc. are Getting Involved 1:28 - Short-form TV Content 1:59 - Kerry Washington Making the Move to Facebook Host: Okay, why is Facebook doing this? They're so big already. They basically control the social media landscape. Do they really need to get into scripted TV also? Ari Zoldan: 1,000%? I mean, I think that they should probably should have done it a couple of years ago. Host: Really? Ari Zoldan: Yeah. Because the the poking and the liking and the sharing is not going to be enough for them to be able to sustain themselves. And what they need to do is to be able to provide really engaging content. Host: But a scripted drama, that's the kind of content that will engage people? Ari Zoldan: There's no question, I think it's going to be a plethora of different kinds of content and, you know, broken up into different verticals. But if you think about the average Facebook user is on it for about an hour a day. Host: That's it? Ari Zoldan: An hour a day. Host: Sorry, I feel like I'm on wait, I mean, I'm I'm maybe I'm not the average, but I feel like it's a little bit more than an hour, but okay. Yeah, I guess Yeah. And they want people to be on for more. Ari Zoldan: Right, and these, these, actually, these companies are actually ad networks, if you think about it, so you lay your premium content on it, you've got the ad dollars. Host: So not only Facebook, Apple is throwing a billion dollars. Google is getting involved now. But we're at the point of peak TV where there's almost too much content out there that cable networks are now getting rid of some shows because people aren't watching. There's just too much good stuff out there. It almost feels like Sorry, no offense, but these, like tech nerds kind of got dazzled by Hollywood who told them like come make TV throw us your money without realizing that there's just not that big of an audience anymore. Ari Zoldan: Right, well, I think the content is changing. Used to be long-form entertainment content. Now what we're going to be seeing is a lot of really shortened content and especially content that's on them that's easily digestible on the mobile versus on the big screen Host: So we're not talking about 23 minutes a com or an hour drama? Ari Zoldan: No, I think we're talking Snapchat very short stories. But again, because it's just a short segment, is that the quality of the content has to be really good, and most importantly, very engaging. Host: Okay, and what do you think of this? You know, this big star Kerry Washington making the move to Facebook? It's kind of you to think it's a demotion or do you think other stars are gonna join along with her? Ari Zoldan: There's no question and I think that this is just the Genesis I think you're gonna see, you know, all the big celebrities, all the big influencers, basically following what Kerry is doing. Host: The truth is they used to say that being on TV was a demotion from movies, and now everybody wants to be on TV. Ari Zoldan: Right. Host: So we could see that happening with social media as well. Comment down below what your thoughts are! Would you watch bite-size TV shows on social media or are you loyal to cable TV and Netflix?

Ari Zoldan on AriseXchange Network - 2/20/14 AriseXchange Network discusses Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp. Ari a huge technology enthusiast, explains that Facebook's decision to buy WhatsApp was a poor business decision. Currently WhatsApp's only revenue is from their users who pay $1 per year after their first year. While the price is low, users can likely lose interest if their social platform costs them even a cent. Ari explains that the likely reason Facebook bought WhatsApp is because they are losing users by the day, and are desperate for a growing fan base- something that WhatsApp has with their 450 million users. Ari explains that this is still a bold decision on Facebook's part to buy WhatsApp as they are a minor competition to Facebook. Ari thinks Facebook is going to go hard on acquisitions and look into location based services.
