AI in Film – An Exciting Future
This article looks at the emerging emergence of AI in film, particularly at the early greenlighting and pre-production stage where big decisions are made regarding the viability and earning potential of certain film projects. The first piece of technology that came into focus was artificial intelligence, which is now used in digital video cameras to make them intelligent. Another application is in decision support, which has been applied to decision making in military situations. It can be used for anything from weather forecasting, transportation, and logistics.
Today we are finding applications and capabilities in entertainment, social networking, online shopping, and even healthcare. As we move forward, AI will likely play a bigger role in all of these areas because it will give humans more control over their surroundings. Film makers have already shown an interest in using AI in film production because they want to emulate the process by which humans interact with their environment. In this article, we’ll examine what is being done today in the visual arts, and what is likely to come in the future.
Visual recognition software is used for a number of tasks in humans. For example, if you asked someone to find a cat on a plane they would probably ask for assistance from an automated device or database. A decade ago, computers could only read text from a book; however, the pace of technology has allowed for AI characters in video games to be created. If this trend continues, we may soon be able to watch virtual movies, chat with artificial intelligence characters, and do more. In fact, if the Kinect for Xbox turns out to be as popular as Microsoft’s first attempt at creating a gaming console, then we may soon see human actors in virtual reality.
In Terminator Salvation, the artificial intelligence system was controlled by a single female actor. The system was so complex that it was almost indistinguishable from humans, and even seemed to berooming around the globe. Will the next breakthrough in artificial intelligence in film be able to perform the same tasks in real time? Probably not. However, this is the sort of thing that researchers are working on; meaning, in a decade artificial intelligence may be able to replace humans in important parts of our lives.
How will humans react when robots are in their likeness? Will humans put the brakes on artificial intelligence? Although there may be some opposition, it’s not hard to imagine why. It will be interesting to watch, as the pace of technology evolves, as will Artificial Intelligent Systems, and how they interact with humans and other intelligent life forms on this planet.
One interesting question is how robots will handle themselves when they fall off the back of a tall robot or get pierced by one? Will the robot just walk away, or stand still, like a human? Many people worry about this, as they don’t want their robot to just do nothing, but rather fall off a tall robot, and die. Will this actually happen in the future?
Perhaps we won’t have robots running around, as so many in the present day wish to protect them from harm, and yet they are often willing to walk around with no clothes on. In an interesting future scenario, a city full of obedient robots would make more sense. Will humans get used to having a city of obedient robots, standing still while they work? This is one subject that are sure to be pondered by future science fiction writers, and movie makers.
In summary, artificial intelligence, and how it will affect future film technology, video games, and visual effects are all excellent topics. Personally, I’m intrigued and very interested in the future of AI, Artificial Intelligent Systems, and how it will effect the world. AI in film will be a ground breaking development and will bring sci-fi to a whole new level. Please consider all this.
