Joseph Gordon-Levitt has spent his career moving between Hollywood and the internet, long before most people saw those worlds colliding. Known for performances in Inception, 500 Days of Summer, and Snowden, he built a parallel path as a director, writer, and founder, always focused on how technology shapes creative work.

As the founder of HITRECORD, Gordon-Levitt has been experimenting for over a decade with collaborative creation online, inviting artists from around the world to contribute to shared projects. That early work now sits at the center of a much bigger conversation. As artificial intelligence reshapes how content is made, who owns it, and what it means to be creative, his perspective feels unusually grounded. 

On stage, Gordon-Levitt explores what AI means for artists, storytellers, and organizations trying to create in a rapidly shifting landscape. He speaks to the tension between efficiency and originality, the value of human contribution, and the risks of losing creative ownership in systems designed to scale. His sessions are especially resonant for audiences thinking about how to adopt new tools without flattening the very creativity that drives their work.
