This is the best summary I could come up with:

Video emerged on social media of the audience loudly booing a conference sizzle reel that featured several industry leaders speaking positively about AI.

The reel featured several speakers and panelists from previous events at the conference, including Peter Deng, vice president of consumer product at ChatGPT-creator OpenAI, and Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, among others.

She added that the audience showed "a high level of engagement and interest," and had voiced their "enthusiasm and support for positive developments" in the field of AI.

Variety noted that much of the audience was likely made up of professionals in the film industry, including actors and screenwriters who just months ago were on strike — and for whom AI was a major concern.

In resolving the strikes, the studios made several concessions on AI, agreeing to prohibit it from being used to rewrite original material for scripts, and requiring the consent of actors before reproducing their likenesses digitally.

Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting.
