Hollywood
🎇 Ben Affleck says AI is "going to hammer" the visual effects industry

Insights for you:

  • Ben Affleck believes that AI will have a significant impact on the visual effects industry, making expensive VFX work much more affordable.

  • However, Affleck believes that AI currently poses little threat to creative filmmaking because it lacks the artistic judgment and ability to direct performances that humans possess.

  • But the actor does see AI creating opportunities for independent filmmakers in particular, by automating routine tasks and potentially enabling faster production and new business models.
