During an appearance on the 'IMO' podcast hosted by Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, renowned filmmaker Steven Spielberg expressed his reservations about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative endeavors. He stated that while AI can serve as a helpful tool in certain areas, such as addressing medical challenges or scouting locations, it should never be the definitive authority in creative processes. Spielberg emphasized that AI lacks the 'soul' necessary for genuine creativity, asserting, 'I’m not willing to substitute' human input with AI-generated content. He highlighted the importance of human creativity in filmmaking, stating that he does not want AI dictating dialogue, camera angles, or set designs. Despite his concerns, many Hollywood studios are embracing AI technology, with companies like Amazon MGM Studios and Paramount exploring AI-generated content to reduce production costs. This trend has drawn criticism from various artists, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett, who share Spielberg's apprehensions about AI's role in storytelling.
