In this special bonus episode, the Back To The Blockbuster teams explore A.I. (artificial intelligence) and its use in Hollywood. The team dives into why protections were put into place for A.I. during the recent WGA and SAG strikes, and whether or not those protections are enough as the presence of A.I. grows. The team also gets into the uses of A.I. in the film industry and how it can possibly be beneficial, but also showcases examples of why it will never be able to take the place of a human being who chooses to write, direct, edit, and act in projects. Is there a place for A.I. in Hollywood? Can it be used in a way that aids the production process? Is it something that can’t be ignored as it continues to grow and will filmmakers and actors cater to studios that are less inclined to use it?
