Tyler Perry has publicly expressed his concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the entertainment industry, particularly highlighting the potential for job losses. Perry, known for his extensive work in the industry, has decided to put a hold on the expansion of his Atlanta studio "thanks to the rapid developments he's seeing" in AI technology, including a firsthand experience with OpenAI. He emphasizes the need for regulations to protect jobs and the industry as a whole, stating he is "very, very concerned that in the near future, a lot of jobs are going to be lost." His comments have sparked a wide range of reactions, including some criticism suggesting "all is not as it seems." Fran Drescher, speaking at the SAG Awards, questioned Perry's hesitation to hire human beings despite his position, and warned of the dangers AI poses, suggesting it could trap humanity in a matrix-like scenario. Perry also mentioned the importance of "galvanizing one voice in motion" to protect individuals in the industry.
