(WAIFF) took place at Cannes, showcasing unconventional AI-generated films.<\/li>\n<li>The Cannes film festival banned AI films for its Palme d\u2019Or competition, arguing it lacks emotional depth, while WAIFF aimed to showcase the \u201cnouvelle vague\u201d AI cinema wave.<\/li>\n<li>Most WAIFF films were dystopian and explored social anxieties about AI, with some notable exceptions creating compelling, lower-budget content.<\/li>\n<li>There were instances of potential copyright infringement, including a controversial short film that closely resembled &#8220;Wallace and Gromit.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Film-makers at the festival showed a duality between embracing AI for its benefits and demanding compensation from tech companies for its use of trained creatives\u2019

human filmmakers.<\/li>\n<li>Festival attendees saw an ironic juxtaposition in an opening performance featuring an 80-piece human orchestra, hinting at the ongoing relevance of human
