Jia Zhangke on AI: “I Use It First to Understand It”
Chinese auteur Jia Zhangke says curiosity got the better of him when it came to exploring the idea of using artificial intelligence in his work. The man behind such layered, award-wining art-house dramas such as Still Life (a Venice Golden Lion winner) and A Touch of Sin (a best screenplay prize winner at Cannes) has so far produced two shorts with AI and told a masterclass in Hong Kong this week that he wanted simply to see what might be possible with the technology that has many in the industry concerned
“I face new technology without making premature judgments,” explained Jia during a discussion panel. “I use it first to understand it.”
