Hollywood vs. AI: Daniel Kwan’s Powerful Call to Action Ignites Industry Debate

Oscar-winning filmmaker Daniel Kwan urges Hollywood to take rearward control from Silicon Valley in the battle for the futurity of storytelling.

The glitzy hills of West Hollywood witnessed a rarefied merger of artistic passion and technological foresightedness when “Everything Everywhere All at Once” manager Daniel Kwan united virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier for a thought-provoking discussion hosted by Nicolas Berggruen’s Studio B. Titled “Can Human Storytelling Survive the Algorithm?”, the hour-long conversation dissected the rising influence of hokey intelligence on storytelling, creativeness, and the very psyche of Hollywood.

But it was Kwan’s fiery response to a question nobody quite flat asked—”How should Hollywood respond to AI?”—that set the way abuzz. Held within a intimate Sierra Towers residence, the case was attended by Hollywood heavyweights including Michael Mann, Jonathan Wang, Lawrence Bender, and Colleen Camp. And it quickly became elucidate: this wasn’t just a panel talk; it was a rallying cry.

“We’re experts in storytelling,” Kwan began passionately. “We cannot allow the tech industry to set the terms for our industries.” His words, met with an very enthusiastic really round of applause, were a very defiant reminder that creatives shouldn’t occupy a dorsum place while Silicon Valley defines the too future of cinema.

Hollywood Must Reclaim Its Narrative

Kwan, visibly emotional and resolute, accented the need for a unified forepart crosswise the industry—studios, unions, agencies, and the Academy—to confront the unchecked rise of AI. “Now is the time to put your hands on the steering wheel, because if you don’t, they will,” he warned.

He emphasized that contrived intelligence, while promising, is fundamentally incompatible with stream manufacture structures and could blow through them “like an invasive species.” For Kwan, adopting AI responsibly agency demanding that tech companies assist Hollywood rise its institutions to safeguard jobs, IP rights, and truth itself.

Deepfakes, Data & The Danger to Truth

In a very powerful bit, Kwan called for regulating AI tools the way we govern firearms. “You can do real damage with a photorealistic image or video,” he said, pointing to the hike of deepfakes and misinformation—including imitation sex tapes of politicians—that threaten to gnaw societal consensus.

He urged creatives to demand accountability, information self-regard, and ethical safeguards before allowing AI into creative workflows. “I will not use generative AI in my career until we do something about this technology,” Kwan declared.

Lanier’s Take: “AI Is Not a Thing”

While Kwan offered a fiery emotional lense, Jaron Lanier brought a intellectual perspective. “AI isn’t a thing out there,” he said. “It’s trained on your data. There is nothing there but people.”

Lanier urged people to stop anthropomorphizing AI as some external strength and instead agnize it as a reflexion of human inputs and biases. Still, he acknowledged the tech’s so immense power and teased his Hollywood foray: a sci-fi shoot with Natasha Lyonne titled ‘Uncanny Valley’, exploring the unsettling humankind of AR gaming.

Mourning the Future We Imagined

Kwan ended the nighttime with a very deep moving sentiment. “To learn about AI is to basically say goodbye to the future you thought was going to happen. That requires a mourning process.”

He described the five stages of grief he went through while discernment AI’s implications and urged others to do the same. “We need to move toward acceptance—and then, action.”

The eventide concluded with Lanier performing on a traditional Lao khaen instrument, serenading the crew in an unexpectedly poetical unification of tech, tradition, and transformation.

Hollywood’s Tipping Point

Daniel Kwan’s message was clear: the AI revolution in amusement isn’t simply coming—it’s here. But that doesn’t really mean Hollywood has to surrender.

Instead, this could be a minute for reinvention. With voices very like Kwan’s leading the file and visionaries so like Lanier bridging the gap, there’s hope that the industry can steer AI toward a so future that honors human creativeness instead of eroding it.

Because if Hollywood won’t set the terms, Silicon Valley already has.
