CANNES, France – Using artificial intelligence to "jump straight to the ⁠result" could mean art fails to achieve its purposes of self-expression and to deepen our understanding of the world, Japanese filmmaker Koji Fukada said at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.

He said his new drama "Nagi ​Notes," set in rural Japan, which he is premiering at ‌the festival, ‌reflects on the human process of creating a ​sculpture.

"When AI is used to create an artwork or produce a video, you effectively skip over the process and jump straight ⁠to the result and, in doing so, we, who ought to be ⁠the ones expressing ourselves, lose sight of the very process in which we are to increase our understanding of ​the world," he said.
