AI is being used to develop various forms of media, from games to music to movies.
Here are some ways in which AI is being used. 10 Ways AI is Being used in Movie Making [2024]
Questions to Ask about AI – from AI…
- Ownership and Copyright: If an AI creates content, who owns it? The person who programmed the AI? The company that owns the AI? The AI itself (if it ever makes sense)? This becomes particularly murky with art, music, and literature.
- Authenticity and Originality: AI can remix existing work to create new pieces. However, there’s a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism. Ensuring that AI-generated content is genuinely original, or at least gives credit where it’s due, is crucial.
- Bias and Representation: AI models learn from existing data, which can include biased perspectives. Using AI to develop media could unintentionally perpetuate stereotypes or omit diverse viewpoints. Ensuring balanced and fair representation is a significant challenge.
- Economic Impact: If AI becomes a go-to creator, what happens to jobs in creative industries? While AI can enhance creativity, it could also disrupt livelihoods, raising questions about economic fairness and societal impact.
- Transparency: Should audiences know when content is AI-generated? Transparency helps build trust and allows viewers, readers, or listeners to make informed choices about the media they consume.
- Consent and Privacy: For media that involves real people (like deepfakes), ensuring that individuals consent to their likeness being used is vital to protect privacy and dignity.
