Hi, I’m Joni Gutierrez — an AI strategist, ethicist, and AI filmmaker, and the Founder of CHAIRES: Center for Human–AI Research, Ethics, and Studies. I’m the author of AI Cinematic Realism (2026), a framework for rethinking cinema in the age of generative media. I explore what it means to stay human in an era shaped by AI — through my writing, speaking, and creative projects.
