As for Generative AI, a type of Artificial Intelligence that can create a wide variety of data, such as images, videos, audio, text, and 3D models, Jeffrey Katzenberg is pessimistic.
“I don’t think there is any industry that generative AI will disrupt more than the creative industry. What and how it will change is unimaginable at this point, but I know it will be stunning,” he told the audience at the Silicon Valley Comes to Tel Aviv Summit.”
“Today, media and entertainment is not a growth market, due in large part to the fact that the consumer standpoint is unclear: consumers are undecided on what they want, when they want it, for how long and how much they are willing to pay for it,” added Jeffrey Katzenberg. I” would also say that, out of all the industries, the media industry is the number one lagger in coming out of Covid.”
