In Love with the Process Podcast EP373 | Don't Fear AI, Fear the CEO's Using It! (w/ Steve Davis)
On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci is joined by director and AI filmmaker Steve Davis, who recently signed with one of the first AI-focused ad agencies. Steve shares his journey from working as a videographer to moving through nearly every position on a film set, all while chasing innovation at the frontlines of AI filmmaking.
Mike and Steve dive into the growing tension between creativity and corporate control. They talk about Netflix’s positive new restrictions on AI use, the dangerous ways corporations are using technology to cut corners, and why the real threat to filmmakers isn’t AI itself, it’s institutional greed. From mass layoffs to profit-driven decision-making, Mike argues that Silicon Valley and major corporations are exploiting technology to make the wealthy even richer, while eroding creative industries in the process.
This episode is a fiery, honest look at the future of filmmaking, the ethics of AI, and how artists can reclaim their power by choosing where to put their time, money, and support. If you care about creativity, independence, and the future of film, this one’s essential listening.
