The Creative Awakening with GUT and Runway | Globant Converge 2025

Hi Culver crowd, how are you? At God, we are all about bravery because we believe that bravery means business. The opposite of bravery, of course, is fear. Fear is the enemy of creativity. And when it comes to AI, there's been a lot of fear in our industry, especially in the creative industry. It's understandable. Every creative is insecure by nature. I know I am. But imagine waking up every day and having to face a blank page. Always with a tight deadline, higher expectations, and the pressure to create something the world has never seen before. It's terrifying. But fear not, AI is here to help. When you embrace AI in the creative process, it's like having your own creative entourage. Imagine having a writer, a poet, a musician, an artist, a filmmaker, an editor, a mathematician, a philosopher next to you all the time. AI is giving kids all over the world from Lagos to Mumbai to Manila to my hometown of S. power the ability to create content with the same visual impact as Hollywood. So, as a creative, you have two choices really. You can be terrified by AI or you can do what the best creatives out there are doing. Embrace it. Learn as much as you can and have a lot of fun. Our next speaker is at the center of it all. He and his team are not just building tools. They are building a new prayer playground. They are breaking down every technical and economic barrier that has creation in the hands of a few. He is the co-founder and CEO of Runway and he's here to show us what he calls the next frontier of imagination. Please put your hands together for a true visionary Cristóbal Valenzuela.
