Filmmaker James Cameron weighs in the debate regarding the use of AI in Hollywood, expressing much more existential fears about the technology.
James Cameron weighs in on the use of AI in Hollywood, specifically addressing the issue of AI-generated screenplays. Best known as the director of films like The Terminator, Titanic, and two Avatars, Cameron's films often to push technological boundaries. The Terminator directly deals with AI, imagining a future in which artificial intelligence has nearly wiped out all of humanity.
“I absolutely share their concern. I warned you guys in 1984! And you didn’t listen. You got to follow the money. Who’s building these things? They’re either building it to dominate marketing shares, so what are you teaching it? Greed. Or you’re building it for defensive purposes, so you’re teaching it paranoia. I think the weaponization of AI is the biggest danger.
“I certainly wouldn’t be interested in having an AI write a script for me…unless they were really good. Let’s wait 20 years, and if an AI wins an Oscar for best screenplay, I think we’ve got to take them seriously. “I don’t believe that’s ever going to have something that’s going to move an audience. You have to be human to write that. I don’t know anyone that’s even thinking about having AI write a screenplay, but I certainly don’t know everybody in Hollywood. And Hollywood people do some crazy ass stuff.”
