Behind the Scenes, AI is Hollywood’s Rising Star

From casting characters to editing movie trailers, Artificial Intelligence is slowly but surely conquering every aspect of the filmmaking industry— yet many ethical and philosophical questions remain before the final cut.

AI is no stranger to the world of cinema.

From The Terminator to Ex Machina, Hollywood’s fixation on the war between man and machine has spanned decades, spawning dozens of beloved Sci-Fi movie masterpieces.

Although Artificial Intelligence spent its formative years moonlighting on the big screen, today, the real AI action occurs behind the scenes.

Powerful, intelligent algorithms have been applied to nearly every aspect of modern filmmaking, revolutionizing the way cinematographers write stories, edit scenes, and cast characters.

Even so, storytelling is a central pillar of what makes us human.

Are we ready to surrender this activity to an algorithm?
