\n\tOpenAI<\/a> CEO Sam Altman<\/a> believes AI is a good thing for Hollywood and will not hurt the industry as much as critics of the technology may be worried about.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think people really care about other people,\u201d Altman told me at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on Saturday when I asked about industry concern that AI will lead to job cuts and less creativity. \u201cI think people really care about the human beings behind the stories and the art and the creative work that matters so much, so my instinct is it\u2019s going to go the other way and people will care more about humans and more about human creators in the future, not less.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAltman said that he isn\u2019t talking to Hollywood insiders on a daily basis, but also \u201cnot infrequently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe do hear a lot from creatives who are like, \u2018I have these new ideas. I want to give input into the next model. I want these things to be possible,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn late March, Altman informed new Disney CEO Josh D\u2019Amaro that he was closing the Sora video-gen platform<\/a> before Disney was able to launch characters in the system.<\/p>\n

\n\tAltman felt \u201cterrible\u201d about it, but said during an interview on iHeartPodcasts\u2019 \u201cMostly Human\u201d that Disney and OpenAI are still looking to work together. Following the Sora closure, Disney cancelled its $1 billion investment in the AI company.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday, Altman declined to share his views when asked about the late Val Kilmer being resurrected by AI <\/a>to be the star of the upcoming movie \u201cAs Deep as the Grave.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m the best person to answer that question,\u201d he said. \u201cI probably have no deep insight there that people in this room don\u2019t have better things to say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for calls for more regulation around AI, Altman said, \u201cI think some regulation will be important. It\u2019s obviously very important to get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
