‘The Ultimate Goal Is to Make More Movies,’ Says CTO of Stability AI, the Tech Company for Which James Cameron Serves as a Board Member
Hanno Basse, chief technoloy officer of tech company Stability AI, spoke about AI at the HPA Tech Retreat.
Hanno Basse — chief tecnology officer of AI tech developer Stability AI, whose board members include James Cameron — discussed his company’s work and the evolution of generative AI in filmmaking during this week’s HPA Tech Retreat, saying, “The ultimate goal is to make more movies.” Pointing to the years it can take to make a Hollywood movie such as Cameron’s blockbuster “Avatar” films, he said, “We heard this from a number of other filmmakers as well: ‘We wanted to make more films in the past, and the time it takes for us, that’s the problem. During his talk at the annual Palm Springs event, where AI took center stage, Basse weighed in on subjects such as data provenance and budgets, and spoke about progress being made in filmmaking, predicting that in “probably two years, we’re going to have very high performing open source foundation models.” “When it actually comes to producing a two-hour movie with high production value that a lot of people will want to go and see, I think we’re very far from that in terms of generative AI being able to do that,” he asserted.
