'Gladiator II' director Ridley Scott said in a new interview that 'you have to embrace' AI after previously calling it a 'technical hydrogen bomb' for Hollywood.
Ridley Scott is promising incredible action with 'Gladiator II' and was apparently willing to use artificial intelligence to achieve his goal. In a new interview with Empire Magazine, Scott said, 'We begin the film with probably the biggest action sequence I’ve ever done. Probably bigger than anything in ‘Napoleon.
Scott told Empire that he blended a few techniques to create the huge beast. 'Computerization and AI, you have to embrace it,' the 'Alien' director said. 'I can have a computer read every molecule and wrinkle on a rhino and then cut it on a thick piece of plastic, absolutely as a rhino’s body, which is then tailored to a skeleton shape.
Last December, the 'Blade Runner' director told Rolling Stone he was terrified about AI taking over society. 'We have to lock down AI. And I don’t know how you’re going to lock it down,' he told the outlet. 'They have these discussions in the government, ‘How are we going to lock down AI?’ Are you f---ing kidding? You’re never going to lock it down. Once it’s out, it’s out.
They really have to not allow this, and I don’t know how you can control it,' he said. He added, referring to generative AI, 'There’s something noncreative about data. You’re going to get a painting created by a computer, but I like to believe – and I’m saying this without confidence – it won’t work with anything particularly special that requires emotion or soul. With that said, I’m still worried about it.
