James Cameron is joining Stability AI’s board of directors


Director James Cameron has signed a deal to become the newest member of Stability AI’s leadership

Last week, Lionsgate announced a partnership with Runway to develop a generative AI model trained on its catalog of films and TV series, and earlier this year, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra said that the company intends to deploy the technology as a massive cost-saving measure. Though AI companies and the studios working with them have been insistent that their collaborations will ultimately be a boon to the industry, the shift represented by these kinds of deals were part of what drove Hollywood’s actors and writers to go on strike last year. Stability is also currently dealing with multiple lawsuits for allegedly training its models on copyrighted material, which might complicate the company’s plans depending on how things shake out.
