Is Hollywood Ready for AI? Jeff Deverett Discusses Scriptwriting, Actors, Strikes, and More Industry Insights

    • TV & Film

AI (artificial intelligence) is no longer just a tech buzzword; it's become Hollywood's latest (and potentially greatest) new actor and scriptwriter.

Welcome to another episode of Industry Insights! In this episode, Jim Ellis sits down once again with film expert Jeff Deverett. With an impressive portfolio of 7 feature films, three of which have been showcased on Netflix, Jeff not only has his fingers on the pulse of the film industry but is also sculpting the future of filmmaking at San Diego State University.

Together they discuss AI’s revolutionary role in Holywood and its influence on the landscape, including its role in the current WGA | SAG-AFTRA strikes. The strikes are not just about money. It’s a reflection of the fear and challenges AI technologies are having on the landscape - people's jobs are at risk, and traditional roles are evolving.

Jeff and Jim also talk about the role of ChatGPT and its ability to draft intricate scripts in a matter of seconds and how AI influencers like Milla Sofia are amassing millions of followers and landing exclusive brand deals.

There’s also the discussion of Intellectual Property rights, AI ethics, and the challenges of determining ownership, credits, and compensation for AI-generated content.
