Hollywood execs warn AI steals jobs but can't do job of true artists: 'I want to work with human beings'

AI expert Marva Bailer explains how the average person has more access than ever to create deepfakes of celebrities even though there are laws in place. With the writers and actors strikes in the past and a new year just beginning, Hollywood executives are still pondering the future of artificial intelligence in entertainment. In a roundtable interview with the Los Angeles Times, several executives weighed in with their concerns about the technology. Jonathan Glickman, founder and CEO of Panoramic Media Co., said that at the moment "I don't think it's really going to affect the writing process very much for the near future, just because the quality is so far below anything that an audience would stand for." However, while creativity may be hard to duplicate, certain behind-the-scenes jobs that are somewhere between technical and creative could be affected.
