Nolan 表示从未见过一项技术发展如此迅速却"被公众如此彻底地拒绝",尤其年轻人将 AI 视频直接称为"AI 垃圾"。 他认为这种"非常健康的怀疑态度"能让人们从新技术中获得最佳成果,而非盲目信任。
奥斯卡获奖导演克里斯托弗·诺兰(Christopher Nolan),他的新版本《奥德赛》目前正在票房上大获全胜:https://variety.com/2026/film/box-office/box-office-the-odyssey-opening-day-christopher-nolan-1236815411/,他表示看到对于人工智能的深度怀疑,尤其是来自年轻人的怀疑,令人“相当鼓舞”:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/17/if-youre-giving-a-commencement-speech-in-2026-maybe-dont-mention-ai/。
诺兰在回应采访者雨果·特拉弗斯(Hugo Travers)的提问时:https://youtu.be/3jHpisxcmkc?si=3rYaEM8J5hzn3plL,特拉弗斯以 YouTube 名称 HugoDécrypte 发布内容。他提到了传奇的特洛伊木马,这在诺兰的电影中起着关键作用——正如木马作为一个隐藏致命希腊入侵者的礼物一样,他想知道人工智能是否可能是“你在日常生活中欢迎的东西”,却最终变成“别的东西,更黑暗的东西”。
诺兰笑着回应道:“我认为人工智能是一个大家都知道里面藏着希腊人的特洛伊木马。”他随后将这项技术描述为“一个透明的木马,它是由玻璃制成的。”
“我从未见过有哪项技术发展得如此迅速,却被公众如此彻底地拒绝,”他说。“每个人对它的怀疑都非常极端,尤其是年轻人。对于网上的人工智能视频的反应,以及和我孩子差不多大的年轻人们立即称之为‘AI劣质产物’、创造出这个词并把它归类起来的反应。”
在诺兰看来,这是一种“非常健康的怀疑态度,因为技术总会像你说的那样给我们带来巨大的礼物,但它必须被怀疑地看待。”同样,他表示,“给予我们技术的人们的动机也必须被怀疑。那样我们才能从新技术中获得最佳成果,而不是单纯盲目信任一切都会很美好。”(与此同时,SpaceX CEO 埃隆·马斯克一直在愤怒地发帖批评影片中非白人和跨性别演员的参演:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/elon-musk-the-odyssey-lupita-nyongo-helen-of-troy-1236747385/。)
诺兰没有更具体说明他认为人工智能威胁的具体是什么,但这项技术在好莱坞日益引发关注,并且在2023年编剧和演员罢工期间成为主要关注点:https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/26/writers-strike-over-ai/。诺兰担任主席的美国导演工会也在其最新合同中赢得了一些生成式人工智能保护:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/directors-guilds-four-year-deal-plan-1236620542/。
这位主任以抵制其他技术著称,包括智能手机;他对电影的拥抱让他看起来既像个反科技者:https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/rethinking-the-luddites-in-the-age-of-ai,又像个先驱,《奥德赛》成为首部完全用IMAX胶片和摄影机拍摄的故事片。
当《纽约时报》最近问诺兰是否认为自己是个技术恐惧症者时:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/movies/odyssey-christopher-nolan.html,他回答说:“我认为自己是个技术怀疑论者”,并表示他热爱电影,因为电影“比我见过的任何数字成像系统都更能表现眼睛看世界的方式。”
诺兰说:“我一直拥抱新技术,但往往以牺牲那些可能仍然有效和可行的系统为代价,”诺兰说。“这就是我在行业里看到的——和洗澡水一起倒掉婴儿。我们差点丢了胶卷!”

Christopher Nolan, the Oscar-winning director whose new version of “The Odyssey” is currently conquering the box office:https://variety.com/2026/film/box-office/box-office-the-odyssey-opening-day-christopher-nolan-1236815411/, said it’s been “pretty encouraging” to see deep skepticism of AI, especially from young people:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/17/if-youre-giving-a-commencement-speech-in-2026-maybe-dont-mention-ai/.
Nolan was responding to a question from interviewer Hugo Travers:https://youtu.be/3jHpisxcmkc?si=3rYaEM8J5hzn3plL, who publishes on YouTube under the name HugoDécrypte. Travers brought up the legendary Trojan horse, which plays a key role in Nolan’s film — just as the horse was a gift concealing murderous Greek invaders, he wondered if AI might be something “that you welcome in your daily life” only to see it become “something else and something darker.”
Laughing, Nolan responded, “I think AI is a Trojan horse that everybody knows the Greeks are inside.” He later described the technology as “a transparent horse, it’s made of glass.”
“I’ve never seen a technology advancing so rapidly [that’s been] so completely rejected by the public,” he said. “Everybody’s suspicion of it is so extreme, particularly young people. The reaction to AI videos online and people my children’s age immediately calling it ‘AI slop’ and coining that term and just putting it in a box.”
In Nolan’s view, this is “a very healthy skepticism, because technology is always going to give us great gifts, as you say, but it has to be viewed with skepticism.” Similarly, he said, “The motives of the people giving it to us also have to be viewed with skepticism. That’s when we’ll get the best out of a new technology, rather than just blind faith that everything’s going to be great.” (Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been angrily posting about the film’s nonwhite and transgender cast members:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/elon-musk-the-odyssey-lupita-nyongo-helen-of-troy-1236747385/.)
Nolan didn’t get more specific about what he views as the threat from AI, but the technology has been a growing source of concern in Hollywood and was a major focus during the writers’ and actors’ strikes of 2023:https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/26/writers-strike-over-ai/. The Directors Guild of America, where Nolan is president, also won some generative AI protections:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/directors-guilds-four-year-deal-plan-1236620542/ in its most recent contract.
The director has been famously resistant to other technologies, including smartphones; his embrace of film can make him seem simultaneously like a Luddite:https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/rethinking-the-luddites-in-the-age-of-ai and a pioneer, with “The Odyssey” becoming the first feature film to be shot entirely on Imax film and cameras.
When The New York Times recently asked Nolan if he thinks of himself as a technophobe:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/movies/odyssey-christopher-nolan.html, he replied, “I think of myself as a techno-skeptic,” and said his love of film comes from the fact that it’s “better in terms of representing the way the eye sees the world than any digital imaging system I’ve seen.”
“I embrace new technology all the time, but it tends to be sold to people at the expense of systems that might still be valid and viable,” Nolan said. “That’s what I saw in my industry — throwing the baby out with the bath water. We almost lost film!”
