Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos on AI: A Tool, Not a Threat

Sarandos believes AI will enhance creativity in Hollywood, but warns that mastery of AI could become a competitive edge.

Sarandos asserts AI won't replace top-tier writers or actors but will be a valuable tool for those who use it effectively.
He cites past technological shifts, like the transition from hand-drawn to computer-generated animation, as precedents for AI's potential positive impact.
Sarandos acknowledges that while AI itself isn't a job threat, those proficient in AI could outcompete others.
Hollywood's recent strikes highlighted fears about AI, but Sarandos maintains confidence in human creativity.
