Robots Making Movies? Discussing The Transformation Of Film With Professor John Cook

In episode #4 of AI Revolution, hosts Charlotte and Tuomo are discussing about the impact of AI on the movie industry together with media professor in film and television John Cook. Our focus is on the concerns of Hollywood actors and screenwriters. We discuss how AI tools can be used to create digital avatars, simulate deceased actors, and even generate superhero scripts. With new AI technology developing rapidly, actors are worried about their likeness being used without their consent or even being replaced one day by AI, while screenwriters are fighting a skill strike due to the potential threat of AI replacing their jobs. We also explore how AI might be used in other creative fields such as education and movie scriptwriting. Additionally, we look at the broader impact of AI on society and the need for global regulations to manage its threat to our future.
