Luc Besson on neural networks in cinema

Director Luc Besson believes that neural networks are only suitable for shooting to make money, not for creativity. He continues to write scripts by hand and avoids using computers.

For Besson, cinema is a way of self-expression where artificial intelligence is not needed. However, he is the co-founder of a studio that uses AI to create animation.

An instrument does not become a competitor if the goal is commercial rather than artistic. Besson distinguishes these concepts at the Moscow Startup Summit.
