OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Variety at the Breakthrough Prize ceremony that, contrary to critics’ fears, AI is likely to increase audiences’ appreciation for human creators rather than diminish it, arguing that people “really care about other people” behind stories and art. He said filmmakers are already expressing ideas for future models and want input into AI tools, and while he isn’t in daily contact with Hollywood insiders, he does hear from creatives seeking to shape the technology. Altman noted that the recent shutdown of OpenAI’s Sora video‑generation platform, which halted Disney’s planned character launch and led Disney to cancel a $1 billion investment, was regrettable but does not signal a broader retreat; Disney and OpenAI remain interested in collaboration. When asked about resurrecting the late Val Kilmer with AI, he declined to comment, and he added that some regulation of AI will be “important” to get right.
