About

“Arguably, Pinar Seyhan Demirdag knows more about the creative potential of AI than anyone on the planet.” — Communication Arts I am the founder and CEO of EVRN, the directing and control layer for generative video. Before EVRN, I co-founded Cuebric, a pioneering company at the intersection of film, AI, and storytelling. My life’s work is rooted in a singular mission: to expand human creative freedom through advanced technologies. Since 2018, I’ve been building next-generation creative tools powered by generative AI, starting with one of Google Brain’s first collaborations on artist-facing AI. In 2020, we produced the world’s first GenAI VFX for a feature film. In 2021, my team created the world’s first GenAI commercial, earning a D&AD Pencil in VFX and 90 million views on YouTube. My course "What is Generative AI?" for Microsoft Career Essentials has become the #1 bestselling course on LinkedIn Learning. It is sold more than 3m+ copies and is now translated into 7 languages. My second LinkedIn Learning "AI Literacy for Business Leaders" is selected as one of the world's top MBA courses. I know how to simplify the complex, build tools that customers need and communicate their value to the masses. I serve as a global voice for ethical AI and creative agency in the age of automation. I frequently speak to executives, technologists, and cultural leaders on stages like Harvard, SXSW, MIT Media Lab, Google I/O, Canva Create, NAB, and TEDx, appear in media like CBS 60 Minutes, Bloomberg, Le Monde, Forbes, NVIDIA, American/British Cinematographer, Vogue, and have been giving lectures on AI & humanities to corporations including Dell, TBWA, LinkedIn, and ARAS.
