Full House and Fuller House's Candace Cameron Bure speaks out this week to reveal why she defiantly refuses to use artificial intelligence in her family-friendly films.
Cameron Bure finds artificial intelligence “scary”
As chief content officer at Great American Family, Cameron Bure said she has “no intention” of using artificial intelligence in the films she makes.
“I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it,” Cameron Bure, 47, told Fox News. “I think this is a bit scary for me…in essence.”
“However, we use amazing writers to write our films, and I have no intention of using or touching AI when it comes to filmmaking and scriptwriting,” she added.

Other Hollywood personalities don't use artificial intelligence
Cameron Bure isn't the only Hollywood player who is resistant to working with artificial intelligence. Nicole Brown, president of TriStar Pictures, recently spoke out to say she prefers to work “with humans.”
“I mean, movies are about someone's experience, someone's perspective, someone's vision,” she said. “So, even though there's a lot of discussion about AI during strikes, as someone who builds content, I want to work with humans.”
Sam Register, president of Warner Bros Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, also recently argued that AI is not “better” at animation than human artists.
“As an animation studio, I think it's important that we protect our artists and the art form for as long as possible,” Register said. “Because I think we should give jobs to people who are already doing it, so they can get their entry-level experience.
“Animation is a visual medium,” he continued. “But, so far, I haven't seen anything that AI can do visually that an artist doesn't currently do better.”
Actress Justine Bateman, best known for the series “Family Ties”, is fighting hard against the use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood.
“I think AI has no place in Hollywood at all. For me, technology should solve the problems that humans have,” she said recently. “Using ChatGPT or any software that uses AI to write screenplays, and using that instead of a writer doesn’t solve “The problem is. We don't have a shortage of writers. We don't have a shortage of actors. We don't have a shortage of directors. We don't have a shortage of talent.”

Artificial Intelligence and the Hollywood Strike of 2023
The use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood played a major role in the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year. The new Writers Guild of America contract stipulates that initial story lines generated by artificial intelligence will not be considered “literary material,” as are scripts or storylines produced by a screenwriter. This essentially means that human screenwriters will no longer compete with AI in the industry.
Business Insider reported that the new SAG-AFTRA contract stipulates that “those looking to reproduce actors' likenesses using artificial intelligence must now obtain their consent first, and stars must be paid for the number of days they would have worked to perform any scenes featuring their characters.” Digital replicas.”
However, some actors remain concerned about how “ambiguous” consent exemptions are. For example, employers are not required to obtain consent to modify certain parts of a performance such as “the lips and/or other facial or body movements and/or the performer’s voice into a foreign language.”
Artificial intelligence has been evolving faster than ever lately, so we can definitely see why someone like Cameron Bure would be afraid to use it. What do you think about the use of artificial intelligence? Let us know in the comments section.
