French President Emmanuel Macron hosts a film industry summit where he and South Korea’s leader warn that artificial intelligence could harm creativity in cinema. Macron calls for protecting film as AI and streaming platforms expand their role in production and distribution.
At the meeting, attended by major entertainment executives including leaders from prominent US studios, Macron warns that society makes a “tremendous mistake” if AI is used to replace creators or to claim to have replaced them. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung says AI development should follow a more responsible, human-centred approach. The outlets emphasize the same concern: safeguards are needed so that AI tools do not undermine the role of human creators or the attribution of creative work.
Both reports frame the summit as a platform for global industry leadership to address how AI is integrated into filmmaking, reflecting shared agreement on the need for ethical limits, even as the broader debate on regulation and adoption remains unresolved.
