\n\tActivists, filmmakers and actors<\/p>\n
\n\tIt began with a dire warning \u2014 and a call to arms. In a 2025 panel discussion, Daniel Kwan, one half of the directorial tandem behind\u00a0Everything Everywhere All at Once,\u00a0set the existential stakes. \u201cWe have to understand that AI is fundamentally incompatible with our institutions,\u201d said Kwan, who called on studios, unions, agencies \u2014 \u201cbasically everyone\u201d \u2014 to form \u201ca unified front against the tech industry.\u201d In February, he co-founded Creators Coalition on AI, alongside actors and prominent AI activists Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natasha Lyonne, to regulate the new technology and advocate for artists\u2019 rights. Hollywood creatives were quick to voice their support, including Cate Blanchett, Rian Johnson, Phil Lord, Kristen Stewart and Taika Waititi. The CCAI says it\u2019s not resisting the use of AI but rather its\u00a0misuse. Lyonne herself, acknowledging the inevitability of the tech, co-founded AI company Asteria and has announced plans to direct an AI-assisted feature film,\u00a0Uncanny Valley. Gordon-Levitt, for his part, has become the organization\u2019s most public spokesperson (the U.N. appointed him as its first global advocate for human-centric digital governance). \u201cI actually think this technology has the potential to be genuinely good for human creativity, but we\u2019ll need to come together and build robust systems for ongoing consent, compensation, controls and transparency around AI training data,\u201d he tells THR. \u201c[But] I fear that most gen AI won\u2019t be used as a tool by human creators at all. Mostly, it\u2019ll be used [by big tech companies] for purely algorithmic personalization \u2026 to generate a whole new video just for you. Everyone will have their own unique viewing experience. Or, put another way, every user will be perfectly siloed, relating to no one, connected to nothing but the system alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Activists, filmmakers and actors It began with a dire warning \u2014 and a call to arms.
