Australian director Alex Proyas says he rejects filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s warning about artificial intelligence, calling it “absolutely wrong.” Proyas, known for films including The Crow, Dark City and I, Robot, is preparing to shoot a new science-fiction project in Los Angeles. According to reporting across multiple outlets, Proyas describes the film as “human-led,” with technology playing a role in the story. The sources do not present new technical details or evidence supporting either Proyas’s or del Toro’s position; the coverage focuses on the public disagreement between the two directors. Proyas’s comments indicate he views AI in the context of fiction and filmmaking differently from del Toro’s cautions, while still incorporating technology as part of his upcoming narrative. The articles also frame Proyas’s upcoming production as a return to science-fiction themes similar to earlier work, but positioned around human decision-making rather than technology driving the outcome.
