Steven Spielberg on AI in Hollywood: ‘Never'
Steven Spielberg has made his position on artificial intelligence in Hollywood absolutely clear, and there is no ambiguity about where he stands.
Speaking on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson's IMO podcast, the legendary helmer said he has no interest in AI playing any creative character part in filmmaking, drawing a firm line between what he considers legitimate use of the technology and what he sees as a fundamental threat to the art form.
"Where I don't love AI is where it takes a position or there's an empty chair at a writer's table," Spielberg said.
"I'm not willing to substitute, you know, because I don't really believe in sentience. I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that is an algorithm that's inventible… A computer that thinks it feels more than we feel is anathema to the way I was raised and how I'll rehearsal my own trade of producing and directing in the future."
He was willing to grant the technology some limited utility, helping with location searching, for instance, or saving project creation teams time on logistical groundwork.
