Spielberg on IMO podcast says AI must not replace creatives
Steven Spielberg isn't sold on letting AI take over creative jobs.
Chatting on the IMO podcast with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, he said AI can be handy for things like location scouting or finding solutions to medical issues, but when it comes to writing dialogue or making art, he wants humans in charge.
"Don't tell me how to write my dialogue for this character. Don't tell me where the camera has to go. Don't tell me what the set should look like. And also use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative, unless AI is simply a tool in a large tool chest of the production designer. That's where I draw the line," Spielberg shared.
Amazon MGM approves AI kids' shows
Even with artists like Spielberg raising concerns, Hollywood studios are jumping into AI to cut costs.
Amazon MGM Studios has approved kids' shows to be developed through generative AI, and Paramount is exploring similar projects.
Streaming platforms are using AI for animation and design, which has left creatives worried about their jobs while studios focus on efficiency.
