Application Questions




The Hollywood 8 Rules for AI are listed below.
Hollywood 8 Rules for AI
  1. Build for Process, Not Just Output. AI should support exploration rather than shortcut it.

  2. Encourage Randomness and Glitchiness. Don’t overdetermine the world. Create spaces for surprise and mess, where artists can experiment and where AI systems intervene to boost the creative process.

  3. Keep Friction in the Creative Flow. Design moments that constrain us and make us think. Moments of discomfort are generative!

  4. Protect Lineage and Give Credit. AI should trace where its inspirations come from. Systems should acknowledge the histories and cultures behind the data.

  5. Put Human Purpose at the Center. AI should ask and adapt to creator intent, making purpose the starting point over patterns.

  6. Make AI Transparent and Conversational. Artists and creatives want to see how decisions are made, step in to guide them, and feedback results in real time.

  7. Value Deliberate Slowness and Depth. Design for layered work, to allow time for ideas to grow instead of forcing instant delivery.

  8. Design for the Whole Creative Ecosystem. Build with awareness of labor, culture, and social impacts. AI must be built with a priori consideration of ecosystem effects, not as a bolt-on feature.
