Rachel Antell emphasized the urgency of addressing generative AI in documentary filmmaking, as its use can threaten the authenticity of archival work, complicating the ethical landscape.
In a candid reflection on the role of generative AI, Antell noted that directors were unconcerned about transparency, stating simply, 'there is none, this is the Wild West,' signaling a new era in filmmaking.
The formation of the Archival Producers Alliance by Antell and others highlights a rising awareness in the documentary community regarding the potential harms of AI, particularly in preserving historical accuracy.
The APA's generation of guidelines indicates a proactive approach to ensuring ethical use of AI in documentaries, promoting a balance between innovation and authenticity in the industry.
