\n\tThe opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence took center stage during the APOS conference\u2019s \u201cThe New Creative Pipeline: AI, IP & Human Craft\u201d session on Wednesday, as actor, director and producer Andy Serkis joined Google executive Jon Zepp and filmmaker Josh Nelson Youssef to discuss the future of storytelling in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.<\/p>\n

\n\tSerkis, whose pioneering performance-capture work helped redefine modern visual effects, said he is excited to see how the next generation of creators will combine emerging technologies with new forms of storytelling. He joined by video call from New Zealand. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing how new creators use these tools in imaginative ways,\u201d he said, while acknowledging that the rapid expansion of creative possibilities also raises serious concerns around misinformation, blurred boundaries and accountability.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs the creative landscape expands, so does our responsibility,\u201d Serkis added.<\/p>\n

\n\tZepp, VP of Entertainment Content & Platforms at Google, described AI as \u201ca major new dimension of storytelling,\u201d arguing that technological innovation is opening new opportunities for creators and audiences alike. He pointed to Google\u2019s growing investments across different forms of content, including emerging formats such as microdramas, as part of a broader effort to better understand audience behavior and preferences. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of transparency as AI-generated content becomes increasingly common.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn most cases, audiences will want to understand the source of origin,\u201d Zepp said, adding that creators, technology companies and industry stakeholders must work together to establish new frameworks for trust and attribution in what he described as an era of democratized content creation.<\/p>\n

\n\tFilmmaker Youssef echoed the benefits of AI-assisted workflows, saying digital tools can help creators achieve greater efficiency and higher levels of execution. However, he argued that the industry must remain focused on the purpose behind the technology.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe question is not simply what these tools can do, but why we are using them,\u201d Youssef said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLooking ahead, all three speakers expressed optimism that technological progress will continue to expand the possibilities of world-building and storytelling. Yet they agreed that human imagination, creative freedom and trusted sources of information will remain essential as the industry navigates the next phase of digital transformation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe world is changing fast,\u201d Serkis said. \u201cBut human creativity will evolve alongside it.\u201d<\/p>\n
