Jon M. Chu suspects artificial intelligence may have been born wicked.

But Chu said he believes the entertainment industry has been too lax about tech companies’ ethically questionable training methods since the advent of generative AI, calling the unauthorized use of Hollywood creations an “original sin.”

“There was an initial sin that I think we’re not over yet, which is they gathered all the data. They took all the scripts, they took all the movies,” Chu told the audience.

“I don’t think the robots choose what we decide is valuable,” Chu said.

Chu also spoke during the Sunday panel about his forthcoming projects, including “Wicked: For Good,” which is slated for a Nov. 21 theatrical release.
