The Ethics of AI in Film: My Personal Framework for 2026

The Ethics of AI in Film

By Arab Seed News Editorial Team

As someone who loves the craft of filmmaking, I often get asked: “Are we killing art?” It’s a question that keeps me up at night. However, I’ve come to view AI as an evolution of the paintbrush, not a replacement for the artist.

Create a “Hybrid Workflow.” Use AI for your wide establishing shots (which are expensive to film) but stick to traditional cinematography for close-up emotional scenes. This balance ensures your project has a “human heart” while maintaining a high-production value.
