Ben Affleck recently took the stage at the 2024 CNBC Delivering Alpha investor summit to share his thoughts on artificial intelligence and its impact on the film industry. He believes that while AI may change some behind-the-scenes processes, the magic of filmmaking—especially the human touch—can never truly be replicated.
💡 Highlights:
Affleck predicts that movies will likely be one of the last sectors affected by AI, emphasizing that true creativity comes from human beings.
He points out that while AI can handle tasks like visual effects and color correction, it cannot replicate the chemistry and artistry that come from working together in a creative space.
The actor sees potential for AI to generate new revenue streams, such as allowing fans to create their own personalized episodes of their favorite shows.
Affleck warns that despite AI's capabilities, it remains "a craftsman at best," reinforcing that human creativity and judgment are irreplaceable in filmmaking.

In no way is Affleck "slamming" AI in that interview, quite the opposite. His brother Casey is even using Meta's MovieGen to make a movie with Blumhouse; they believe it will democratize and bring VFX costs down.
