Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has called out the use of artificial intelligence in filmmaking, adding that he doesn't want it to take over the creative process in Hollywood.

During his recent appearance on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson's 'IMO' podcast, Spielberg shared, "Where I don't love AI is where it takes a position or there's an empty chair at a writer's table. I'm not willing to substitute, you know, because I don't really believe in sentience. I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that is an algorithm that's inventible... A computer that thinks it feels more than we feel is anathema to the way I was raised and how I'll practice my own trade of producing and directing in the future."
