Sony’s A.I. Controversy Explained
TheSpider-Versefan who initially got the conversation started with Miller on X comes only a few days after a new statement was made by Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra about the studio’s new strategies for filmmaking. During an investor conference that took place in Japan last week (viaThe HollywoodReporter), Vinciquerra stated that they are focusing a lot on AI and incorporating more of it for producing movies. Vinciquerra stated,“We’ll be looking at ways to use AI to produce films for theaters and television in more efficient ways, using AI primarily.”
This struck a big reaction from industry people and critics alike, as this could lead to a major number of jobs being taken away from production crews across the board. This is also happening in the midst of active negotiations between the major Hollywood studios and the crew union. While Vinciquerra added,“The agreements that came out of last year’s strikes and the agreements that will come out of the IATSE and Teamster [negotiations] will define roughly what we do with AI,“this has obviously caused a lot of concern for big films likeSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verseand evenTom Holland’sSpider-Man 4.
The future of Hollywood is definitely experiencing some turbulence right now, with the box office going up and down, as well as studios still trying to find ways to cut down costs by relying on AI. With Miller addressing this aboutSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, it’s still promising to see film producers make it clear that they are looking to commit to more traditional routes of filmmaking. Hopefully, there will be more news onSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versesoon, including its long-awaited release date.
