Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries, and filmmaking is no exception. This research paper explores the future trends and impacts of AI on filmmaking, drawing on insights from expert interviews with industry professionals. The analysis reveals a multifaceted picture, highlighting both the potential benefits and challenges associated with AI integration. AI tools hold promise for enhancing creativity by suggesting story ideas, streamlining workflows through casting and production automation, and optimizing budgets. However, ethical considerations arise regarding potential bias in AI algorithms and the homogenization of filmmaking if AI is overused. The paper concludes that AI serves as a powerful tool to empower human creativity, but human judgment and artistic vision will remain central to the filmmaking process. Responsible development and implementation of AI are crucial to ensure a future where AI complements, rather than replaces, the human touch in creating a vibrant and emotionally engaging cinematic landscape. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
