James Cameron’s Stance artificial intelligence It has evolved over the past few years, and he feels that Hollywood needs to embrace it in several different ways.
Cameron joined Stability AI’s board last year and explained his decision last week about the “Boz to the Future” podcast.
“The goal was to understand space and understand what’s in the minds of developers,” he said. “What are they targeting? What are the development cycles? How much resources do you have to throw at you to create a new model that does something dedicated to you? My goal was to try and integrate it into your VFX workflow.”
He continued saying that a transition to AI is something that needs to be done.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
“And that’s not just a hypothesis. We have to do. If I’ve always loved and liked to make and want to see ‘Dune’, ‘Dune’ or one of my films or one of my films, or one of CG heavy films, we’ve found a way to cut that cost by half.
“Now, it’s not about firing half of the staff at a VFX company. That’s about double the speed on a given shot. So your cadence is faster, your throughput cycles are faster, your artists do other cool things and other cool things.
Cameron doesn’t think the film is ultimately a “big target” for companies like Openai.
“Their goal is not to make genai movies. We’re a bit of warts on their ass,” he laughed.
“The film is just a small application, it has a small use case and is too small for now. That’s a problem. It’s a small, boutique-style group of Genai developers. Answer.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger claims that the future of AI from the “Terminator” franchise is “here today”
A rotoscope is a task that involves drawing or tracking live-action footage on a frame-by-frame basis.
Cameron said people won’t get caught up in filmmaking or get into VFX to do roto’s underwater needle points[scoping]. And there are a lot of such tasks. “For example, changing fragments frame-by-frame for motion capture, which we feel AI can be faster and more cost-effective.”
“That’s all common sense, right? All you have to do is probably feed millions of images in the real world and have a stupid algorithm,” he said.
Cameron previously cited him in 2023, denounced the use of AI The 1984 film “The Terminator” As a warning.

“I think the biggest danger is the weaponization of AI,” he told CTV in Canada at the time.
“I think we’ll be the equivalent of a nuclear weapons race with AI. If we don’t build that, others will certainly be building it.
He continued. “I could imagine the AI in a battle theater. Everything is just being fought with computers at human speed, and you can no longer intervene, and you have no ability to relax.”
“I warned you guys in 1984, but I didn’t listen,” Cameron said. AI destroys humanity.

At the time, Cameron said he wasn’t worried about AI being replaced by creatives, saying, “It never matters who wrote it. Is that a good story?”
“I personally think that the unembodied minds are just regurgitating what other embodied minds said, but they had, about lies, about fear, about mortality – put it all into salads, let it flow, don’t let it flow, don’t let it flow,” he said.
Cameron dismissed negative feelings about the “Boz to the Future” podcast Entertainment Industry We share information about generation AI.
“A lot of the hesitations in Hollywood and entertainment in general are issues of the source material for training data, and I think who deserves copyright protection and stuff like that, and people see it all wrong,” he said.

He explained that everyone is already basically working like AI. “You’re creating models to quickly process that model through life. …It doesn’t work that way.”
“My point is if I copy exactly as a screenwriter, as a filmmaker. “Star Wars” You will be sued. In fact, I don’t even get that much. Everyone will say it’s too much like “Star Wars,” we’ll be sued. I don’t get any money. As a scriptwriter, you say, “I know my sources, I know what I like, I have some kind of built-in ethics filter. I know I’m emulating, and I know I have to move far enough away that it’s my own independent creation.”
Cameron agrees that AI management is necessary “from a legal perspective,” but he believes the focus should be on what the output is and whether it is monetized to the input.
“You can’t control my input. You can’t tell me what to see, what to see, where to go. My input is what I choose and what to do, and what I have accumulated throughout my life.

Some companies already allow it AI company Access back catalog.
Lionsgate, the studio behind films such as “The Hunger Games” and “Twilight,” partnered with AI Research Company Runway last September to “create and train new AI models customized to Lionsgate’s own portfolio of films and television content.” Statement from the company at that time.
Cameron admitted that he doesn’t love the idea of using AI to mimic him.
“I think we should discourage the text prompts in the style of “James Cameron’s Style” or “Zack Snyder” or “Style.” Create your own style. “But on the other hand, it’s a bit cool to have a ‘style’ as part of the text prompt. ”

The trend to generate images in a particular style has taken off on social media, sparking controversy over copyright and originality.
Most recently, people were regularly sharing images generated in the style of Japanese animation companies. Studio Ghiblifurther promoting discussion.
However, Cameron saw no problem.
“How is Studio Ghibli hurt by fan art?” Cameron asked on the podcast.
“You can’t stop fan art. You don’t want to stop fan art. It’s an expression. It reflects what they respond and makes you feel like you’re part of that universe. These things should be encouraged.”

But he drew the line with economic benefits.
“If someone is going out and trying to make money in a way that can harm Studio Ghibli and prove it, I think that’s where you have to draw the lines.”
He continued, “What do you mean by selling a t-shirt and the image of Luke Skywalker on top of a t-shirt? You can’t do that. Lucasert can’t do that. It’s a piracy. It’s closed.
