Martin Scorsese Joins Black Forest Labs as AI Adviser

Martin Scorsese has joined German AI startup Black Forest Labs as an adviser, sparking controversy in creative circles. The 83-year-old director, known for Goodfellas and Taxi Driver, will use the company's FLUX image generator for storyboarding. Scorsese stated the tool helps him communicate visual ideas more efficiently to his creative team, saving time and cost during preproduction. Black Forest Labs was founded by former Stability AI employees, and Scorsese became a partner via BroadLight Capital. Critics argue AI pulls from existing artistic work without consent. Scorsese joins James Cameron, who sits on Stability AI's board.
