Netflix used AI in 300 shows. Its biggest director calls AI a Trojan horse.

The fight over AI in Hollywood used to be about the future. This month it turned into a fight about the present. Within days, a studio, a director and a union each drew a line. The lines do not agree. Taken together, they show an industry that has already let the technology in. Now it […]
