Russo Brothers Defend AI Use in Netflix's 'The Electric State'

The directors argue that AI enhances creativity and will shape the future of filmmaking, despite ethical concerns dividing Hollywood.

The Russo brothers used AI for voice modulation in their Netflix sci-fi film 'The Electric State,' now available for streaming.
Joe Russo stated that AI, in its current generative state, is best suited for creative applications and not mission-critical tasks.
The directors believe public fear and misunderstanding of AI's potential are driving criticism of its use in the entertainment industry.
The Electric State, based on Simon Stålenhag's 2018 illustrated novel, explores a post-apocalyptic America through the journey of a teenage girl and her robot companion.
Filmmakers like James Cameron have opposed generative AI in filmmaking, highlighting a growing ethical and creative divide within Hollywood.
