Link: In exit interview, Star Wars boss says AI will give movies never-before-seen FX.

Kathleen Kennedy, the Star Wars executive, anticipates that AI will revolutionize movie special effects. In a Deadline interview, she expressed eagerness to employ AI in creating unparalleled visuals for large-scale films.

Kennedy believes AI tools will be crucial for "world-building" and crafting unique cinematic experiences. This technology is seen as a game-changer for the film industry, especially for blockbuster movies.

The interview also addresses a common misconception. Kennedy incorrectly stated that ILM originated the first CG shot in a film with "Young Sherlock Holmes."

However, earlier films like "Tron," "The Last Starfighter," and "2001: A Space Odyssey" had incorporated computer graphics before "Young Sherlock Holmes." Even older movies like "Westworld" and "Vertigo" featured early forms of CG.
