\nSteven Spielberg spoke out against AI in filmmaking during a recent appearance on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson\u2019s \u201cIMO\u201d podcast. While the legendary director said he thinks AI can be useful to \u201cfind solutions to medical issues,\u201d he doesn\u2019t want it taking over the creative process in Hollywood. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhere I don\u2019t love AI is where it takes a position or there\u2019s an empty chair at a writer\u2019s table,\u201d Spielberg said. \u201cI\u2019m not willing to substitute, you know, because I don\u2019t really believe in sentience. I don\u2019t believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don\u2019t think that is an algorithm that\u2019s inventible\u2026 A computer that thinks it feels more than we feel is anathema to the way I was raised and how I\u2019ll practice my own trade of producing and directing in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cJaws\u201d director said he can see a future where AI can help \u201csave us a lot of legwork\u201d by doing tasks like scouting locations, but he never wants it to tell him or anyone on his team how to make movies.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t tell me how to write my dialogue for this character. Don\u2019t tell me where the camera has to go. And also don\u2019t tell me what the set should look like, unless AI is simply a tool in a large tool chest of the production designer,\u201d he added. \u201cUse AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative. That\u2019s where I draw the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpielberg is hardly the first major Hollywood figure to speak out against the use of AI in movies. Leonardo DiCaprio told Time magazine in December that AI is incapable of having humanity and thus anything it creates can\u2019t be \u201cauthentically\u201d considered art.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being,\u201d he said. \u201cOtherwise \u2014 haven\u2019t you heard these songs that are mashups that are just absolutely brilliant and you go, \u2018Oh my God, this is Michael Jackson doing the Weeknd,\u2019 or \u2018This is funk from the A Tribe Called Quest song \u201cBonita Applebum,\u201d done in, you know, a sort of Al Green soul-song voice, and it\u2019s brilliant.\u2019 And you go, \u2018Cool.\u2019 But then it gets its 15 minutes of fame and it just dissipates into the ether of other internet junk. There\u2019s no anchoring to it. There\u2019s no humanity to it, as brilliant as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
