During the conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Tyler Perry revealed that every studio is still trying to figure out how to approach artificial intelligence, stating that the technology is advancing so quickly that it’s led to studios playing catch-up with it. However, the actor also understands that the proliferation of the tool throughout the entertainment industry will cost people their jobs, as evidenced by his own decision to pause plans to expand his studio.
“I think that it has to be everybody, all involved in how do we protect the future of our industry because it is changing rapidly, right before our eyes. I think of all of the construction workers and contractors who are not going to be employed because I’m not doing this next phase of the studio because there is no need to do it.”
While Perry admitted to taking advantage of the cost-effective benefits of AI, he still wants to start a dialogue about its role in the industry as he’s concerned about its impact on people’s lives, and he believes action must be taken to prevent that from happening. “I think the only way to move forward in this is to galvanize it as one voice, not only in Hollywood and in this industry, but also in Congress.”
