Howie Mandel Embraces AI While Simon Cowell Remains Skeptical, As Experts Say Creativity Still Needed in Showbiz

Howie Mandel told Fox News Digital he is "embracing AI" and has it in his office to do more things than he can do himself.
Mandel wants regulation so people can profit off images/material that look like them prompted by AI. He compared AI to the advent of television.
Fellow AGT judge Simon Cowell said he is "not a fan" of AI as anything faking it is problematic.
Experts say AI won't replace creativity but will be involved, like in next Toy Story movie. AI can't write Harry Potter alone.
Mandel said AGT judges give honest criticism to help contestants win the $1 million prize, not to be mean.
