But the entrance of these tools is causing trepidation. A Goldman Sachs report in late March said generative AI could significantly disrupt the global economy and subject 300 million jobs to automation. The Writers Guild of America, which represents screenwriters, is locked in negotiations with movie studios -- and the way artificial intelligence can be used in scriptwriting is a key sticking point. Actors, such as Keanu Reeves, are raising alarm bells, saying the rise of generative AI is "scary" and could be a way for executives to not pay artists fairly.

Mankind's technological advancements have been developing at such breakneck speeds that we often take for granted how they have made our lives easier. One of the most interesting results of human brainpower is the machine-like replication of itself: artificial intelligence. AI is already present in our daily tasks, from search engines, algorithms, virtual assistant technology, and the like. However, there seems to be budding movements in applying AI technologies to the cultural productions, with some already venturing into anime and art. Should this prove successful both commercially and critically, it is only inevitable that this AI movement would permeate the cultural zeitgeist of other media, and one that is of great interest is the medium of film.

I personally love what Victor Frankenstein attempts (although it meets a terrible end) but I must admit how scary this era of technological development is. Humans are forging ahead in the field of artificial intelligence, quickly replacing manpower as we switch from manual to automatic for a number of tasks. Robots are already powering our homes, working in our labs, picking our songs and now, they will be directing our movies. SEE ALSO: This machine writes poetry and it might be better than you at it! Up next, artificial intelligence is all set to take over major roles in filmmaking.

The technology around us has made its way into all kinds of movies. But there's one movie genre it hasn't been able to infiltrate -- the romantic comedy.

Autonomous drones, lasers, and computer rendering play increasingly vital roles in filmmaking, but what makes Liam Young's moody, futuristic films so unusual is these technologies are not tools, but stars. The Australian architect-turned-filmmaker considers his films In the Robot Skies, Where the City Can't See, and Renderlands Trojan horses bringing these technologies into mainstream consciousness in a positive, even creative, way. If people give, say, LIDAR, any thought, it's probably within the context of autonomous vehicles or that lawsuit against Uber. But Young sees a compelling story. "We tell stories about what these technologies might mean," he says.

PC gamers have long had tools to make professional-looking movies. Console players, however, haven't had much luck... it's usually either raw gameplay or nothing. DICE and EA want to give living room directors their shot, though. You now have extensive control over the camera, and it's not just about choosing what to look at or how the camera follows a given unit. You can play with the field of view, depth of field and even an array of visual filters that include Noir and Battlefield 3's signature bluish tones.
