Artificial intelligence is transforming the film industry, enabling filmmakers to create high-quality content rapidly and with lower costs. Directors Samir Mallal and Bouha Kazmi are at the forefront of this change, using AI to produce films like “Midnight Drop” and “Spiders in the Sky.” These films, depicting geopolitical events such as US-Israeli bombings in Iran and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian bombers, demonstrate the potential of AI to produce cinematic news pieces quickly. AI tools like Google’s Veo3, OpenAI’s Sora, and Midjourney are used to generate video content, speech, sound effects, and background noise. While these advancements offer exciting possibilities, they also raise concerns about copyright and the need for equitable compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI models. As AI tools become more prevalent in the creative process, the industry faces a revolution in how content is produced and consumed.
