The advent of
artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed various industries, and the world
of filmmaking is no exception. From automating labor-intensive editing
processes to creating hyper-realistic CGI, AI is redefining how films are
conceptualized, produced, and consumed. However, alongside these creative
opportunities, the integration of AI raises significant ethical concerns,
including the impact on authenticity, creativity, and job displacement. As
technologies such as AI-generated deepfakes and automated video editing
software become more sophisticated, filmmakers face a pivotal moment where the
balance between innovation and ethical responsibility must be carefully
considered. This paper explores how AI is utilized in filmmaking, analyzes its
benefits and risks, and highlights examples such as The Lion King (2019 remake)
to discuss the potential and pitfalls of AI in creative processes.
