Netflix has used generative AI in one of its shows for the first time in a move to help make “cheaper” and “better” films and TV series.
Netflix used generative AI to create a scene in the Argentinian sci-fi series The Eternaut — a first for one of the streamer’s original shows or films. During an earnings call on Thursday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the use of AI was faster than using traditional visual effects tools and helped cut costs.
The streaming company said it used the technology onscreen for the first time in an Argentine science fiction show.
Netflix confirms it used AI to generate video effects in its latest sci-fi epic, and that might be a good thing for smaller budget productions.
The streaming giant's co-CEO told financial analysts that artificial intelligence tools are expanding creativity.
