ASEAN filmmakers keen for co-productions in reaching more markets

Kamil from Malaysia said AI is part of the technological aspect of filmmaking but noted that you still need "human intervention" to produce a film.

Sirisak said the film industry needs to balance both the positive and negative aspects of AI. "If (you use AI) too much, then you lay-off all the people, I think that should not happen. But you should have that AI (technology) to make your work better," he said.
