## Summary

Skydance chief David Ellison said artificial intelligence could become “the biggest creative unlock in modern history”, arguing it may have a greater effect on film production than the arrival of CGI and special effects. His comments signal enthusiasm for AI in filmmaking, while he also said artists and hand-crafted storytelling would remain valuable.

Ellison compared AI’s potential with the technology behind films such as *Jurassic Park* and *Terminator 2*. He described AI as a tool for artists, not a replacement, but did not specify how it might be used in future Skydance projects. The remarks came amid changes at DC Studios, where James Gunn and Peter Safran have departed and Jeremy Latcham has been brought in.
