Renowned entrepreneur and visionary Elon Musk recently shared a link to a short film called 'The Heist' on social media, which was created using artificial intelligence. The film's visuals were produced entirely by Google Veo 2, a neural network that can transform text descriptions into video. Notably, cameras, sets, and actors were not used in the production of the film; instead, it was generated entirely by AI.
The only human input in the production process was in the areas of sound design, music composition, and editing. However, it is likely that future advancements in AI technology will enable it to take on these tasks as well, potentially generating entire films from scratch – from scriptwriting to final cut. This development has significant implications for the entertainment industry and the role of humans in creative processes.
