At this year's Berlin Film Festival, filmmakers and industry groups debated AI's expanding role, with directors Yoshitoshi Shinomiya and Georg Tiller showing creative uses and limits. Eurocinema and EFAD said AI is already replacing junior roles and could displace technicians and voice actors; a CNC survey in early 2025 found 90% of film professionals using AI tools. Attendees raised legal, authorship and regulatory concerns, intensified by OpenAI–Disney's December deal.
