Artificial Intelligence can bridge the distance between technology and art

Back in 2016, at the London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film, in the 48hr Film Challenge, filmmaker Oscar Sharp and artificial intelligence (AI) researcher Ross Goodwin entered a film called Sunspring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v LY7x2Ihqjmc). The unique thing about the film was that it had been entirely scripted by an AI. The AI was originally called Jetson, but later named itself Benjamin. The AI not only wrote the script, it even did the background score and put the acting together using face-swapping and voice-generating technologies. Benjamin was given thousands of hours of old films and green screen footage of professional actors, and allowed to put the film together.
