David Ellison says AI could be the ‘biggest creative unlock in modern history’

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison said on an earnings call that AI could have a bigger impact on film than CGI, comparing it to the early-1990s advent of CGI and digital composites. He said the company has been developing its own AI tools that could make budgets more digestible and enable more original storytelling, while stressing that AI is a tool for artists and "will never be a replacement for them."
