Artificial intelligence is increasingly entering creative industries once considered resistant to automation. The launch of advanced video-generation systems such as Seedance has intensified discussion about employment within Hollywood and beyond.

Film production traditionally relies on a wide range of professionals — including screenwriters, editors, cinematographers, and visual effects specialists. Some industry representatives worry that AI tools capable of producing high-quality visuals in seconds could reduce demand for certain roles.

At the same time, others argue that AI may lower production costs and expand access to filmmaking tools, enabling new entrants into the market. Historical shifts in media technology — from digital cameras to streaming platforms — have often disrupted but ultimately reshaped employment patterns.

As AI capabilities expand, the entertainment sector faces questions about workforce adaptation, retraining, and long-term job security.
