Steven Spielberg stated at SXSW that he has never used AI in any of his films, opposing its use to replace creative individuals.Summary
Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg expressed his stance against using AI in creative endeavors during an interview at the SXSW conference. When asked about AI's utility in filmmaking, Spielberg confirmed, “I’ve never used AI on any of my films yet,” a comment that was met with audience applause. While he is not anti-technology, citing his films that explore technological themes like “Minority Report” and “A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” he clarified his opposition is specifically when AI replaces a creative person. Spielberg noted that in his writers' rooms, there is no empty chair with a laptop, emphasizing he does not outsource creativity to machines. This contrasts with the industry trend where AI startups are targeting resource-constrained indie filmmakers, and major players like Amazon and Netflix are actively testing or acquiring AI filmmaking technology.
