DreamWorks SKG founder Jeffrey Katzenberg and WndrCo general partner Justin Wexler join ‘Claman Countdown’ to discuss the AI revolution, growing cybersecurity risks and the rise of innovators reshaping Silicon Valley.
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond incremental change and into something more profound, DreamWorks SKG founder Jeffrey Katzenberg told FOX Business on Wednesday.
Katzenberg joined anchor Liz Claman on “The Claman Countdown” to discuss the acceleration of AI innovation and what it means for industries from cybersecurity to entertainment. He said AI marks a significant turning point in the way technology is reshaping business and creativity.

“Today there’s still this incredible excitement around all things AI. There’s no question that we’re not in a time of evolution, we’re in a time of revolution,” he said.
Katzenberg said the pace of development is driven in part by a new generation of builders entering the space earlier than ever before, and tools that lower barriers to entry.

“The level of excitement right now about the impossible is suddenly palpable, it’s real,” he added.
Although the technology is advancing rapidly, Katzenberg suggested that its long-term impact will depend on how businesses and creators adapt to the ongoing change.
Still, those reluctant to adapt shouldn’t fear AI — when asked if Hollywood animators should fear for their jobs, Katzenberg dismissed these concerns.

“As much as I appreciate continuous innovation, in my opinion, I still think that the human touch is very important in telling good stories,” she said. “The analogy I would make is that there is a difference between prose and poetry, and I think that when you see these kinds of ideas and results that come, it’s kind of a common ground in it, but it lacks the poetry that comes with real creativity.”
“Now, these tools are actually amazing,” Katzenberg continued. “And I think there should be more openness to acceptance, like there was for me when we went from hand-drawn animation to computer animation, right?”
