Steven Spielberg Explains Why He Hasn't Used AI in Filmmaking
Spielberg supports AI in many fields but insists it should not replace human creatives in writers' rooms, emphasizing the value of originality and collaboration at SXSW.
- On Friday at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, filmmaker Steven Spielberg confirmed he has never used artificial intelligence in his projects, stating, "I am not for AI if it replaces a creative individual."
- Although supportive of technology in other fields, Spielberg guards his writers' rooms from automation, noting, "There's no empty chair with a laptop on it." This protects his creative process.
- Championing the theatrical experience over home viewing, Spielberg stated that true cinema requires a community to "congregate in a strange, dark space" rather than watching on television. This reflects his broader creative philosophy.
- Promoting his next film, Disclosure Day, Spielberg discussed his personal fascination with alien theories, admitting he holds a "very strong sneaking suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now."
- Confirming he has no plans to retire, Spielberg revealed a Western project in development set in Texas, designed to avoid typical genre tropes and pursue fresh storytelling.
