Renowned director James Cameron, known for films like Titanic and Aliens, recently discussed the growing use of generative AI with SAG-AFTRA’s Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. In the podcast, Cameron expressed his worries about the technology, stating that it’s important to distinguish between traditional computer-assisted filmmaking and true generative AI. He explained that the film industry has long relied on computers and performance capture, but these shouldn’t be confused with the new possibilities – and potential problems – of AI that creates content on its own.
