Overview
- Speaking at the Runway AI Summit in New York, Kennedy warned that filmmaking relies on human taste and happy accidents that AI’s predictable systems struggle to capture.
- She backed narrow uses for AI in previsualization, planning, budgeting, and scheduling, yet she cast doubt on using it to make core creative choices on set.
- Kennedy called for clear disclosure about how language models are trained and when AI tools are used in production to ease distrust among creators.
- She cited a recent set problem where 3D‑printed props broke after a few takes, arguing that skilled prop makers still build sturdier, production‑ready items.
- Runway and executives from Adobe, Paramount, EA, and others described generative tools as transformative, a message delivered days after OpenAI shut down its Sora video app and as some AI demos still showed rough results.
