James Cameron states that the Generation AI is “the next big wave of film technology” and “the genie released from the bottle.”

“We haven’t learned how to control it yet,” he added.

Speaking from New Zealand, he wraps post-production Avatar: Fire and Ashes, Cameron spoke frankly about the potential and threats of generative AI.

“We can’t think of anything bigger and more important to us right now than we stand up to this generative AI problem,” he said. “It is important that we learn and control it so that it remains an artistic tool and not replaces the artist.

“The idea that this technology can potentially replace the unique lens that actors and all artists bring is horrifying. New tools can do great harm, as they can replace actors or integrate dead actors.

“There are some very dangerous things ahead of us right now, but I wasn’t afraid of new technology,” he added. “I want to learn it. Learn it for yourself and then use my own best judgment as to how I apply it to my art.”

Cameron was on the forefront of using cutting-edge VFX technology. Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Titanic and Avatar, The benefits of generative AI have added that it can drive production and “reduce the costs of imaginative films and reduce production times.”

“It takes four years to make it Avatar It’s a film, so I think it would be great if you could do that in three or two years,” he said. Maybe I could narrow down a little more work to the rest of my life.

“Movies are so expensive now that they seem to be making cinemas less important around the world, which is scary after spending 42 years making movies that can be seen in cinemas.

Cameron said that the AI produced can play an important role in greenlighting these films more films, but “As film artists, we need to set rules for television. There are no rules now. That’s Wild West.”
