Pakistan, May 16 -- 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.
