Director Kang Yoon-sung and AI director Kwon Won-seul met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 14th and said, "AI cannot replace actors' acting."He said "The door for new actors will not be narrower in the future."
The movie to be released on the 15th is a feature film using AI for the first time in Korea. It is a chasing action blockbuster between those trapped in the middle of the world and underworld lions trying to extinguish their souls, directed by Kang Yoon-sung, who directed 'The Outlaws', 'Casino', 'Fine: Mountaineers'.
Recently, interest in the use of AI is increasing in the film industry. However, when the AI movie is released, there are also concerns that the door for new actors could be narrower in the future.
Director Kang responded, "'AI technology is only a creative tool, but it cannot create emotions for actors.'" Even in the future, AI is difficult to replace actors' acting. It is likely to be used as a thoroughly segmented tool," he said.
Director Kwon AI also said that using a lot of AI will narrow the door for newcomers, but there is a paradox. Reducing production costs with AI may create more opportunities for actors. The same goes for me. Without AI, it would have taken a long time to go around. Not only me, but there are many people who make works with AI, and talented and outstanding creators continue to be discovered. I think the actors are the same. I don't think I lose my job because there is a place for opportunities to create content, but rather increase it" he said.
