\n\tAs the discourse around artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI<\/a>) in Hollywood continues to buzz, Steven Spielberg<\/a> recently shared his two cents.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 3x Oscar winner noted that he\u2019s \u201cwithholding judgment on AI\u201d until he has a better understanding of how it\u2019s being used, but he\u2019s \u201cnot willing to substitute\u201d an AI tool for a creative role usually filled by humans.<\/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 he explained on the IMO<\/a> podcast. \u201cThere\u2019s six writers, and there\u2019s an empty chair, and there\u2019s a computer in front of the empty chair, and it is the seventh writer. I\u2019m not willing to substitute, 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 is inventible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile he sees AI as a useful tool for the medical field or in education, Spielberg doesn\u2019t think it should be used as more than a tool in creative fields. \u201cI don\u2019t want AI involved in that way. If AI wants to help me find locations, that\u2019s great. Saves us all a lot of leg work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut don\u2019t tell me that I don\u2019t have the right antagonist in this movie, don\u2019t tell me how to write my dialogue for this character, don\u2019t tell me where the camera has to go,\u201d added Spielberg. \u201cAnd also, don\u2019t tell me what the sets should look like, unless AI is simply a tool in the large tool chest of the production designer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpielberg said, \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\tThe use of AI in Hollywood continues to be a hot-button topic. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA has endorsed the Trump administration\u2019s AI policy framework<\/a>, which calls for Congress to enact legislation that includes parental controls, intellectual property rights protection, First Amendment protections, expanding AI workforce development, allowing data centers to generate their own power, and removing legal barriers that limit AI innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the discourse around artificial intelligence (AI) in Hollywood continues to buzz, Steven Spielberg recently shared his two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,18586,80],"class_list":["post-470810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-steven-spielberg","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
