Steven Spielberg said in a new interview that he is opposed to using AI as anything more than "a tool in a large tool chest" that filmmakers have at their disposal

The Film Academy announced on May 1 that it changed requirements for its acting and screenwriting categories to ensure that AI-assisted performances and screenplays would not be considered eligible for the Oscars

Spielberg's new movie Disclosure Day is in theaters June 12

Steven Spielberg is explaining his stance on the use of artificial intelligence in his filmmaking career.

Spielberg, 79, appeared on the Wednesday, May 27 episode of Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson'sIMO podcast as he promoted his new movie Disclosure Day. "Well, I'm kind of withholding judgment on AI until I see really how it is being used," the famed director said, after Obama, 62, noted his 2001 blockbuster A.I. Artificial Intelligence and asked him "what kind of crystal ball" he used to make the movie.

While Spielberg noted that he believes the development of artificial intelligence can be used as an effective tool "that can create and find solutions to medical issues" and in education, he said he is uninterested in utilizing artificial intelligence programs for creative practices.

“Where I don't love AI is where it takes a position, or there's an empty chair at a writer's table, and there's six writers and an empty chair and there's a computer in front of the empty chair and it is the seventh writer," he said. "I'm not willing to substitute, you know, because I don't really believe in its sentience. I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that is an algorithm that's inventible, if there is such a word."

"I think a computer that thinks it feels more than we feel is anathema to the way I was raised and how I'll practice my own trade of producing and directing in the future," Spielberg added.

"I don't want AI involved in that way. If AI wants to help me find locations, that's great. Saves us all a lot of legwork. But don't tell me that I don't have the right antagonist in this movie," he continued. "Don't tell me how to write my dialogue for this character. Don't tell me where the camera has to go. And also don't tell me what the set should look like, unless AI is simply a tool in a large tool chest of the production designer and just one of many tools the production designer uses..."

"Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative. That's where I draw the line,” the Academy Award winner concluded.

Spielberg is just the latest in a chorus of voices in Hollywood that have sounded off on how the entertainment industry should approach the use of AI in recent months.

At the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, Demi Moore emphasized that she believes artificial intelligence can never create works that "never replace what true art comes from," though she did advocate for utilizing it. Seth Rogen, meanwhile, asserted that AI-generated video content he has seen on social media "is like the most stupid dog s--- I've ever seen in my life" in a separate interview at the French film festival.

“If your instinct is to use AI and not go through that process, you shouldn't be a writer," Rogen, 44, added, regarding people who use AI to write movies or television shows. " 'Cause then you're not writing. Go do something else.”

On May 1, the Film Academy announced that it has changed requirements for its acting and screenwriting categories to ensure that AI-assisted performances and screenplays would not be considered eligible for Academy Awards.

Spielberg's own movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence famously starred Haley Joel Osment as a robotic child programmed with the ability to love who is paired with a human family and seeks to become "real." The movie takes place in the 22nd century and also features Frances O'Connor, Jude Law, Sam Robards and William Hurt in its cast.

The legendary director's next movie Disclosure Day, which stars Josh O'Connor and Emily Blunt, is in theaters June 12.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Kuwait said it was targeted with a missile and drone attack Thursday, another challenge to the shaky ceasefire in the Iran war following strikes by both Washington and Tehran.

Kuwait’s military made the announcement, without providing further details on what had been targeted. Iran said hours later that it launched an attack in the region, but it did not say exactly what was targeted.

Kuwait, a close ally of the U.S., repeatedly came under fire from Iran and Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Iraq during the war.

The announcement comes as the Middle East is on the edge. U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that his administration is making headway in negotiations with Iran to end the war, but the talks remain in flux.

Trump is looking for an agreement that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz — through which about a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas once passed. He is also seeking to get Iran to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium while the Islamic Republic wants economic sanctions to be lifted and frozen assets to be released to aid its shattered economy. The war has been unpopular in the U.S., and Iran's closure of the strait has sent oil prices skyrocketing, driving up fuel prices around the world.

As the negotiations continue, there have been several challenges to the ceasefire in recent days.

On Monday, the U.S. said it conducted what the Pentagon called “defensive” strikes on missile launch sites and minelaying boats in southern Iran. U.S. officials said late Wednesday in Washington that forces launched more strikes on Iran, shooting down four one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the strait and hitting an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

The officials were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard via the state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged the attack around Bandar Abbas International Airport and said it launched its own retaliatory attack on the air base that launched the assault.

It did not elaborate on the target and it wasn’t clear whether that was the attack that Kuwait announced.

KEELUNG, Taiwan, May 28 (Reuters) - A new ferry service to serve booming tourism between Taiwan and Japan began on Thursday on ‌a ship that could be pressed into service to evacuate people on southern ‌Japanese islands in the event of a war in the region.

The Yaima Maru is one of the ships that Japan's government this year put on a list of vessels to be used to evacuate island residents to mainland Japan in case of a crisis.

China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has ramped up its military pressure against Taipei over the past five years, ‌including holding war games covering areas ⁠that have been close to Japanese waters.

For now, the ship will be linking Taiwan's northern port city of Keelung with Japan's Ishigaki, which ⁠lies to the east of Taiwan at the bottom end of the Ryukyu islands, shuttling tourists back and forth once a week on an overnight journey.

"This regular route is not merely transportation infrastructure," Ishigaki Mayor Yoshitaka Nakayama said at Keelung port. "It serves as a new bridge that supports tourism, ‌logistics, economic activity, cultural exchange, and education."

The U.S. has a major military base in Okinawa in the Ryukyu islands and Japan has been strengthening its defences in the area, including on Yonaguni, the Japanese island which sits closest to Taiwan.

Tatsuya Ohama, president of Shosen Yaima which runs the ferry service, declined to directly answer questions about regional tensions.

"This is fundamentally a ‌matter between countries. As a private ferry operator, our first step is to get the service up and running," he told reporters.

Japan ruled Taiwan as a colony from 1895 to 1945 and the two have very ‌close economic and trade relations despite a lack of formal diplomatic ties.

China has been angered by stepped-up support from Tokyo for Taipei.

In November, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo. That ‌infuriated Beijing and triggered a deterioration in ties.

Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

UPPSALA, Sweden, May 28 (Reuters) - Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf ‌Kristersson will host Ukrainian President ‌Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Sweden in Thursday, where the they will present news related to aviation, the government said.

Kristersson and Zelenskiy signed a letter of intent last ‌year that ⁠could see Sweden sell up to 150 of its newer ⁠Gripen E fighter jets to Ukraine. But with deliveries several years away, there have been discussions about transfer of ‌existing, C/D model Swedish Gripens.

The planes are a priority for Ukraine's fighter fleet and the country's defence minister said in May that a deal ‌for Gripen E could be signed "within months" after the European Union approved a ‌90 billion euro loan to Ukraine.

Shares in Saab rose following the announcement and were up 4.86% at 0817 GMT.

The NFL offseason is in full swing. Every team can dream of having a big campaign and going on the postseason and winning the Super Bowl ... for now.

Reality will set in when training camp starts and certain franchises will see that they face a monumental task to play .500 football, let alone keep playing after the 17-game regular season ends.

There are some teams that feel like locks to gain the playoffs and try to win the Super Bowl. Then, there are others where it isn't exactly a stretch to say they will be going home after the 18th week of the regular season.

What teams won't be making the playoffs?

New York Jets

Geno Smith.

This should come as no surprise, especially with the Jets banking on Geno Smith at quarterback. Could he be the first starter to be in charge of an offense for different teams that wind up with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in back-to-back seasons?

Miami Dolphins

Valtteri Bottas of Finland and Cadillac F1 Team poses for a photo with Miami Dolphins players during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Miami.

It would take much more than a Miami Miracle for the Dolphins to compete with the Patriots and Bills. And there will not be three playoff teams coming out of the AFC East.

Cleveland Browns

Next.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Aaron Rodgers retirement tour will last 17 games, 18 weeks and not more than that.

Tennessee Titans

All Titans fans can hope for is that Cam Ward improves off his rookie season. However, expecting a massive jump is unrealistic. Winning six games or so would be an accomplishment. Robert Saleh-Brian Daboll exacta is worrisome.

Indianapolis Colts

Were the Colts under Daniel Jones the real Indy team or the one that fell apart when their quarterback was injured. Will go along with somewhere in the middle but they aren't going to top the Jaguars and Texans.

Las Vegas Raiders

Fernando Mendoza needs to survive his rookie season. The Raiders need to protect the No. 1 overall pick and hope to somewhat improve. They aren't about to gain the playoffs after last season's debacle.

New York Giants

Jaxson Dart is the media darling and finds his way into headlines everywhere. He's not going to take this team to the playoffs the way it is structured. John Harbaugh has a big task remodeling a crumbled Big Blue franchise.

Dallas Cowboys

Time for everyone in Cowboys Nation to start yelping. Sorry, this is the same team, next year and it isn't going to improve enough to threaten for a playoff spot.

Minnesota Vikings

Kyler Murray of the Minnesota Vikings participates in a drill during an OTA workout at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center on May 27, 2026 in Eagan, Minnesota.

The Vikings will continue to pay the price for letting Sam Darnold go after drafting JJ McCarthy. Kyler Murray doesn't exactly bring a playoff resume with him.

New Orleans Saints

The Saints should get better but being better than average is not good enough to play in the postseason.

Atlanta Falcons

Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Atlanta Falcons runs through drills during OTA's at IBM Performance Field on May 27, 2026 in Flowery Branch, Georgia.

The Falcons have gone from Kirk Cousins to Tua Tagovailoa in the QB room with Michael Penix Jr. Will they learn?

Arizona Cardinals

Get serious.
