On October 19, 2023, the **United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization** is set to host a groundbreaking UN conference at its Paris headquarters to discuss the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on the film industry. This initiative comes in the wake of escalating debates and concerns from industry professionals regarding the ethical use of generative AI in cinema, especially after global creators and actors demanded clear creative rights for AI-produced content earlier in July. As the leading UN body for Culture and Science, UNESCO aims to foster a global dialogue on this pressing issue. The conference will focus on establishing ethical guidelines for AI in film, ensuring fair revenue distribution, upholding intellectual property rights, guaranteeing cultural diversity and representation in AI-generated content, and finding a balance between leveraging AI’s innovative potential and addressing its ethical dilemmas.
