Artificial Intelligence: A growing threat for stunt workers in HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD's stricking actors fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is coming for their jobs , but for many stunt performers, this fear is already a reality.Studios have long used computer generated background figures to reduce the number of actors needed for battle scenes.
Now , the rise of AI means cheaper and more powerful techniques are being explored to create highly elaborate action sequences without humans.
"The technology is exponentially getting faster and better" It is really a scary time right now" said by Stunt Coordinator Freddy Bouciegues.He fears producers could use these virtual avatars to replace Stunt Performers playing pedestrians leaping out of the way of a car chase.He adds "there could be a world where they say"No ,we don't want to bring these 10 guys in, we will just add then in later via effects and AI.Now those guys are out of the job"
