The use of AI in cinema should be respected, “The Shrouds” filmmaker David Cronenberg said at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, but it doesn’t have to be feared. “It’s like nuclear fission,” he explained. “It’s ferocious and terrifying, but it’s also incredibly useful. What do we do? I have no idea.”
Cronenberg described himself as a “filmmaker who welcomed the advent of computer generated imagery” and said “it has made filmmaking much easier.” So in that respect, he continued, “I welcome it and I look forward to using it.”
“It’s quite shocking, though, to see what can be done, even now, with the beginnings of AI,” Cronenberg added.
