\n\t\u201cWell, there could be worse with my image. Sorry,\u201d she joked at the CNBC Changemakers Summit<\/a>. \u201cBut it\u2019s here. We have to observe it. We have to understand it. We have to lean into it. We have to use it in a really constructive and creative way, make it our friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBullock continued, \u201cWe have to be incredibly cautious and aware of it because there are people who will use it for evil and not good. I do feel that there\u2019s a place for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros Motion Pictures Co-Chair and CEO Pam Abdy was also reluctantly embracing of the fan videos. \u201cI know it\u2019s not great, but its also exciting. Because that means that there\u2019s a desire for it and that means that people want to come and play with the movie,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
