A barrier to the infiltration of AI into cinema. While the 7th art has been celebrated on the Croisette since the opening of the Cannes Film Festival on May 12, the Minister of Culture announced the new rules of the National Center for Cinema and Animated Images (CNC) to protect creation in the face of artificial intelligence.

“Creation is not reuse, it is an act of innovation, which by definition is often nourished by confrontation, by breaking with old forms,” declared Catherine Pégard, during a meeting with actors from the world of French cinema on Saturday May 16. “Artificial intelligence is a tool. It can accelerate, facilitate and enrich the production of films. But a work is a look, it is an intention, it is feelings. (…) This is why the CNC will very soon modify the rules relating to this aid, to guarantee respect for a simple principle, helping human creation.”

Concretely, the CNC “A work that does not have an author will not help tomorrow.” or human voice actors. Without going so far as to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence, the minister specifies: “We will not support works where AI would replace the creator, instead of providing him with additional tools. Respect for human creation applies to the sharing of value as well as to the protection of employment.”

Closer to those who create

L’Humanité has always claimed the idea that culture is not a commoditythat it is a condition of political life and human emancipation.

Faced with liberal cultural policies, which weaken the public service of culture, the newspaper reports on the resistance of creators and all cultural personnel, but also on the solidarity of the public.

Unusual, daring and unique positions are the hallmark of the newspaper’s culture pages. Our journalists explore behind the scenes of the world of culture and the genesis of the works who make and shake up the news.

Help us defend an ambitious idea of ​​culture!
