His work is also informed by a philosophical interest in consciousness and creativity. Drawing from years of study in Zen Buddhism, Minh explores how AI challenges traditional ideas about authorship, mind, and imagination, and what a new era of human–machine creativity might look like.Before working in AI, Minh was active in theater and audio storytelling, performing in productions such as The Little Prince, playing Timon in an audio adaptation of The Lion King, and directing an audio drama inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation. He regularly publishes videos and essays reflecting on the evolution of artificial intelligence and its implications for creative work.
