The use of artificial intelligence in global cinema is growing, amid concern about its impact on creative professions, particularly storyboard artists, whose drawings directors use to plan scenes before filming.اضافة اعلان

American director Martin Scorsese reignited the debate when he announced in June that he was working with an AI company to use image-generation technology in developing the visual concepts for his next film.

The growing interest of prominent directors, including James Cameron and Christopher Nolan, in the potential of this technology has added to the debate.

Specialist artists warn that increasing reliance on these tools could reduce job opportunities and weaken the creative collaboration between directors and illustrators, a partnership that for decades has been a core part of filmmaking and helped shape famous scenes by directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa.

Experts stress that storyboards do more than draw scenes. They help develop a film's visual language and align the vision of the production team.

Researchers, on the other hand, argue that AI could become a useful tool for artists, provided it does not replace human imagination and the creative interaction that gives films their distinct character.
