James Cameron Wants to Protect Actors in the Age of A.I.

James Cameron has spent four decades pushing filmmaking technology forward, but at the core of his work is something deeply human. In this interview with SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the Oscar-winning director of Terminator, Aliens, Titanic and the Avatar films ( Avatar: Fire and Ash opens Dec. 19) talks about why performance capture is the “purest form of cinema acting,” why he refuses to use generative A.I. for scripts and actors’ performances, and how safety and trust guide every set he runs. The man who dreamed up Skynet also explains what kind of A.I. boundaries the industry urgently needs to put in place.
