Hollywood Divided Over AI's Impact on Film Industry Jobs and Creativity

Industry experts convened at a UNESCO conference in Paris to discuss the threat of AI on the film industry. Directors warned AI could replace hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Some are excited about AI enhancing filmmaking by making it cheaper and easier, democratizing the process. But many in Hollywood are deeply suspicious.

Actors' and writers' unions negotiated deals addressing concerns like ownership of likeness and plagiarism. They want informed consent and fair compensation.

While AI could aid in mundane tasks, some worry it will hamper careers of those starting out by replacing hands-on learning.

Speakers called for global collaboration between institutions to create regulations and norms so AI serves humanity, rather than the reverse.
