On Paramount Skydance's latest earnings call, CEO David Ellison said it's "hard to imagine" AI won't have a bigger impact on the film industry than CGI.
"When you zoom out and look at production, AI really has the potential to be the biggest creative unlock in modern history," he said, comparing the moment to the advent of CGI and digital composites in the early '90s, which gave birth to films like Jurassic Park and Terminator 2.
