Ann Greenberg

About

I build new storytelling structures for the interactive, immersive, and AI age. I co-founded Gracenote, the leading entertainment data and technology company (acquired by Nielsen, now embedded in 1B+ devices and cars.) I cofounded ION, a futuristic studio and publisher (BMG) which became known as the first interactive music label. We launched groundbreaking projects with David Bowie, Brian Eno, and others using my interactive cinema systems. I am Founder and President of Sceneplay, Inc. where our patented Media Generation System and SmartScript™ technology automates collaborative storytelling, enabling audiences, creators, and brands to co-create—and get paid—in real time. I coined the terms Social Video and Proof of Participation to describe this new creator economy. I write the Human-Centered Storytelling™ series, exploring the shift from 3rd-person to 1st-person storytelling across entertainment, education, and beyond. Focus areas: Generative AI, Participatory Storytelling, Metadata, XR, Blockchain, Interactive Cinema, Crowdsourcing, IP Strategy.
