OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/a> believes that AI is a boon for Hollywood, not the bane critics consider it. Over the past few years, many have expressed their disapproval of the use of AI in Hollywood productions. Most recently, Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock have encouraged people to embrace AI.<\/p>\n OpenAI CEO Sam Altman talks about AI\u2019s impact on Hollywood<\/p>\n At the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony\u00a0on April 18, Sam Altman spoke to Variety<\/a>\u2018s Marc Malkin about AI\u2019s impact on Hollywood. When Malkin asked about the industry\u2019s concern that AI will lead to job cuts and a decline in creativity, Altman replied, \u201cI think people really care about other people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think people really care about the human beings behind the stories and the art and the creative work that matters so much, so my instinct is it\u2019s going to go the other way and people will care more about humans and more about human creators in the future, not less,\u201d Altman added. He also revealed that he has been speaking to Hollywood insiders \u201cnot infrequently.\u201d<\/p>\n The 40-year-old said, \u201cWe do hear a lot from creatives who are like, \u2018I have these new ideas. I want to give input into the next model. I want these things to be possible.\u201d Disney was planning to launch its characters on the Sora video-gen platform.<\/p>\n However, last month, Altman informed the studio\u2019s CEO, Josh D\u2019Amaro,\u00a0that he was taking down the platform. While Disney canceled its $1 billion investment in the AI company after Sora was shut down, it is still looking forward to working together with OpenAI.<\/p>\n Marc Malkin also asked Altman about his views on Val Kilmer\u2019s resurrection for the movie, As Deep as the Grave. The OpenAI CEO replied, \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m the best person to answer that question. I probably have no deep insight there that people in this room don\u2019t have better things to say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n The post OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Breaks Silence on AI in Hollywood<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: Tayfun Coskun\/Anadolu via Getty Images OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that AI is a boon for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[150],"tags":[2984,3501,23956,23954,20106,581,23955],"class_list":["post-39228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sam-altman","tag-ai-company","tag-hollywood","tag-hollywood-productions","tag-marc-malkin","tag-reese-witherspoon","tag-sam-altman","tag-sandra-bullock"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116452723434200442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
