Steven Spielberg

Final question for you, and this is probably not a lightning round question, but it is something that a lot of people are thinking of.

You are a person who spent a lot of time thinking about complacency in the face of existential threats.

It's very much part of War of the Worlds, H.G.

Wells' book that you quote from for your film, of course.

Yes.

The number one, perhaps, existential threat that people might be talking about in Hollywood, I would imagine, is AI.

And I'd love to ask you both, what do you think the best use of this technology is?

And how do you think it will actually be used?

And if you use it now.

Let me just tell you something I'm barking on right now.

I've been very critical of AI because I don't want AI to ever replace human beings in creative roles.

But I don't know enough about AI to really be able to answer that question comprehensively.

And I am spending part of this summer being AI trained.

By whom?

I don't want to say by who, but I am learning about AI.

I'm going to do a deep dive on AI before I really get any more or less critical of it.

I need to know more about it.

And that's what I'm doing this summer.

I just want to know in general about what is AI really all about?

God, you and all of the rest of us.
