Dr Samantha Pillay on 5AA

Discussing "When I'm Santa's CEO," AI Music, and Inspiring Young Philanthropists

5 AA Facebook 2025

Listen to the full interview as Dr. Pillay joins 5AA host Leith Forrest to discuss the launch of her latest children's book, "When I'm Santa's CEO." The book, which has already become a #1 Bestseller on Amazon, is an empowering Christmas story designed to inspire generosity and philanthropy in young children by showing them that leadership is about making a positive impact.

The conversation also covered the innovative, cross-media launch of the project, including the animated music video for the song 'The North Pole's Got a Brand New Beat.' Dr Pillay shared the "wow" moment of hearing the chorus, a song created entirely with generative AI through her social impact film studio, AIFilm4Good, being played on live radio.

The interview explores the intersection of social impact, technology, and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
