Artificial-intelligence (AI) tools have been increasing in popularity in Hollywood and have caused a stir in the media due to the legal implications of their use. In particular, the issue of intellectual-property rights raises questions about who owns the content produced. Paramount Global, a company focused on technology, used one such tool to explore the implications of AI-driven creativity.
Phil Wiser, Paramount Global’s Chief Technology Officer, used the AI tool DALL-E to explore these implications by creating images such as SpongeBob SquarePants flying a plane, and the iconic Transformer character Optimus Prime on the Paramount studios lot. These examples were presented during a meeting with Bob Bakish, Chief Executive of Paramount Global, and other leaders.
