著名导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆加入了人工智能公司Stability AI的董事会，该公司是Stable Diffusion背后的公司。卡梅隆表示，他对生成式AI和CGI图像创作的结合非常感兴趣，认为这将是下一波革命性的技术，并将彻底改变电影行业。此举标志着好莱坞与人工智能公司之间日益密切的合作关系，此前狮门影业也宣布与Runway合作开发一个基于其电影和电视剧库的生成式AI模型。

😁 詹姆斯·卡梅隆加入Stability AI董事会：卡梅隆一直是新兴技术的早期采用者，他表示自己对生成式AI和CGI图像创作的结合非常感兴趣，认为这将是下一波革命性的技术，并将彻底改变电影行业。

😊 Stability AI与好莱坞的合作关系日益密切：此前狮门影业也宣布与Runway合作开发一个基于其电影和电视剧库的生成式AI模型。索尼影业娱乐公司首席执行官托尼·文奇奎拉也表示，该公司打算将人工智能技术作为一项重大的成本节约措施。

🤔 AI技术在电影行业的应用引发争议：虽然人工智能公司和与之合作的制片厂一直坚持认为，他们的合作最终将有利于整个行业，但这些合作也引发了争议，导致好莱坞的演员和编剧在去年进行了罢工。卡梅隆本人也因使用人工智能重新制作《深渊》、《真实的谎言》和《异形》等经典电影而受到批评。

😔 Stability AI面临版权诉讼：Stability AI目前正面临多起诉讼，指控其使用受版权保护的材料训练其模型。这可能会影响该公司的未来发展，因为这些诉讼的最终结果尚不清楚。

😎 卡梅隆对人工智能技术的热情：尽管存在一些争议，但卡梅隆对人工智能技术充满热情，并表示自己将积极参与其中。

Though director James Cameron recently expressed some concern about artificial intelligence’s potential to leave people feeling a loss of purpose, the longtime early adopter has now joined Stability AI’s board of directors.

Today, Stability AI — the company behind Stable Diffusion — announced that Cameron has signed a deal to become the newest member of its executive leadership. In a statement, CEO Prem Akkaraju described Cameron’s coming on as “monumental statement” for the AI industry as a whole, and described the director as someone who lives in the future and waits for the rest of us to catch up.” Cameron cited his long history of experimenting with emerging technologies as part of what inspired him to join Stability AI’s ranks, and pointed to “the intersection of generative AI and CGI image creation” as the next big breakthrough set to revolutionize the filmmaking industry.

It’s not currently clear how Cameron’s arrival at Stability AI might influence the company, but the news comes at a time when studios have begun to show interest in working with AI firms more closely. Last week, Lionsgate announced a partnership with Runway to develop a generative AI model trained on its catalog of films and TV series, and earlier this year, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra said that the company intends to deploy the technology as a massive cost-saving measure.

Though AI companies and the studios working with them have been insistent that their collaborations will ultimately be a boon to the industry, the shift represented by these kinds of deals were part of what drove Hollywood’s actors and writers to go on strike last year.

Cameron himself has recently caught heat for using AI to remaster some of his classic films like The Abyss, True Lies, and Aliens. Stability is also currently dealing with multiple lawsuits for allegedly training its models on copyrighted material, which might complicate the company’s plans depending on how things shake out. But for all of the uncertainty that’s defining the AI space, Cameron sounds especially keen on throwing himself into it while it’s buzzing.
