Tye Sheridan：Wonder Dynamics 利用 AI 技术，特别是 Wonder Studio 平台，旨在降低电影特效制作成本，使独立电影制作人也能制作高质量的 CGI 电影。这源于他和合伙人 Nikola Todorovic 在电影制作过程中遇到的预算限制，他们希望通过 AI 技术来弥合独立电影制作人和大型工作室之间的差距。Wonder Studio 可以将 2D 视频转换为 3D 动画，加速视觉特效制作流程，但并非完全取代传统流程，而是作为补充工具，帮助艺术家提高效率。Sheridan 认为，AI 技术为电影行业带来了巨大的机遇，但同时也需要谨慎对待，平衡创新和社会影响，避免对艺术家造成负面影响。他强调 AI 技术应该作为辅助工具，而非取代人类艺术家和创意过程。他认为 AI 技术的应用应该以人为本，注重提升人类体验，促进人际沟通。他乐观地看待 AI 技术的未来发展，相信其能够改善人们的生活，创造新的机遇，并促进更美好的社会。

Tye joins this episode to talk about the genesis of his company, plus he shares his views on artificial intelligence’s impact on creativity in the film industry and the opportunities it can offer creators. Read the episode transcript here).
