Martin Scorsese is the latest Oscar-winning director to hop on the AI wagon, joining the AI firm Black Forest Labs as an adviser in a bid to “push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences.”

“Cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve,” Scorsese said in a statement posted on Black Forest Labs’ website. “I utilized 3D with ‘Hugo’ and de-aging technology for ‘The Irishman.’ Now, with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer — for them to build on to enrich cinematic intelligence.”
