Everyone is ignoring the one thing in the room when it comes to AI videos.
That thing (no, it’s not software nor GPUs)?
Geography.
That’s why Chinese AI video companies (Seedance, iQIYI) are winning in the short term. By using cultural geography to create content that resonates with Chinese audiences at home AND the Chinese diaspora overseas.
In Hollywood, actors like Matthew McConaughey have seen the AI future. He’s trademarked his voice and likeness with the USPTO to create (in his words) “a clear perimeter” and simultaneously licensing himself to ElevenLabs for a Spanish version of his newsletter. That’s geographic intelligence applied to personal brand.
And that’s why geographic intelligence is the missing layer.

My real name is Nick but to my clients, I’m their 2nd brain. Why? Because I keep them up to date on global shifts - societal, political and technological - so they can stay ahead of the competition. I also track innovations across industries to uncover opportunities that can transform your business.
I love analyzing how technology influences the media and entertainment world. Because the media and entertainment industry is constantly changing. And technology is playing a big role in changing it (from CD’s to live-streaming). Finally, I love coffee, going to the gym/working out and anything to do with athletic leisure clothing (I’m a big Lululemon fan).
