Everyone is talking about AI<\/span><\/span>, whether they want to or not. Every day, it feels like there’s a news story about how the tech is improving<\/span><\/span>\/ruining<\/span><\/span> our lives, and many conversations about artificial intelligence either come from a place of deep fear or heightened optimism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As someone who works in entertainment, I’ve been wondering if these reactions reflect the actual state of the technology that’s out there. Well, as I learned during this year’s AI on the Lot, the world’s biggest conference focused on AI in media, the disconnect is significant — and the means to bridge the gap from fear to understanding, and potentially acceptance, are lacking.<\/p>\n

\"AI <\/p>\n

The event, which drew roughly 2,500 attendees throughout its three-day run, took place near (and partially on) the backlot of Amazon MGM Studios in Culver City, California. I was there for one day, but that was enough time for me to experience the product hype and techno-optimism firsthand. (The persistent worries about human replacement and environmental damage were rarely mentioned.)<\/p>\n

One thing you should know about me: I’m a card-carrying member of the performers’ union SAG-AFTRA and, just a few years ago, I joined the strike<\/span><\/span> that raised red flags about the non-consensual use of generative AI<\/span><\/span> in entertainment. Now, here I was — an AI skeptic, an actor, a CNET journalist — entering the belly of the beast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recent films like Hell Grind, which made waves at Cannes, and\u00a0Dream of Violets, which sparked controversy for being the first full-length AI-made movie to be featured at Tribeca, show the direction movie-making may be heading: quicker, cheaper productions with fewer humans involved.<\/p>\n

I wanted to change my mind about the state of the entertainment industry and AI’s potential to improve Hollywood’s overall operations. By day’s end, I left feeling even more conflicted.<\/p>\n
