As the use of Artificial intelligence continues in the world. There are important questions that arise about what the future of Hollywood will look like, whether will it transform filmmaking, and its impact on the workforce. AI has already influenced the industry ranging from scriptwriting and special effects to acting using technology. This shift in the industry has the potential to take away jobs that are done by humans, especially technical roles like visual effects and animations. However, it also presents new job opportunities where AI and humans can coexist such as being an AI specialist or designer. While AI is good for making films and being able to produce more efficient and faster work, it also challenges the nature of creativity in Hollywood. Some questions arise about how AI will influence storytelling, directing, acting, and editing. These are key areas where humans play the main role involving human intuitions and emotions. The future of creativity in filmmaking relies on whether AI will serve as a boost to help the industry or a crutch that will dull Hollywood’s creativity.
My research will explore the impact of AI on Hollywood’s workforce and creativity by reading articles that talk about AI in film finding case studies or films that used AI to create it and analyzing AI-driven films such as Where the Robots Grow (2024) and Mufasa: The Lion King (2024). My research will explore how access to AI can be both a risk and provide opportunities in film. It addresses ethical concerns such as who owns the property rights if it was created by technology and the potential misuse of AI to replicate actors/actresses. Ultimately, I aim to talk about AI’s role in the entertainment industry, exploring how Hollywood can adapt to technological advancements while maintaining creativity.
