How is AI used in Filmmaking? - Sofy.tv - Blog

It is often said that most people only know the little that they do about artificial intelligence through watching films about AI. Arguably, the most famous of all is Steven Spielberg's A.I (1997), a film that tells the story of a humanoid AI boy that learns to love. Movie buffs know that the film was originally developed by Stanley Kubrick, who worked on developing the movie for years, only to give the project to Spielberg on account of both AI and robotics of the time being too undeveloped to realize his vision. Even today, some 25 years later, it is likely that AI and robotics still could not reach Kubrick's vision of an extremely realistic human-like AI humanoid. But thanks to this and other movies like Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) and Ex Machina (2014), global audiences have been given a taste of the potential of AI, as well as a slightly dystopic vision of our future with artificial intelligence systems too.
