On Wednesday, August 14th, President Biden addressed digital creators at the inaugural White House Creator Economy Conference, emphasizing their role in shaping the future of communication. Speaking to an audience of over 100 creators and industry professionals, Biden declared them as “the new possibilities” and humorously added that he invited them because he was “looking for a job.”
The conference fostered open dialogue between creators and policymakers, covering crucial topics like AI technology, fair compensation, data privacy, and the mental health impacts of social media. Tech policy lawyer Franklin Graves highlighted the importance of such events in ensuring creators have a voice in Washington, a privilege traditionally reserved for more established media groups.
