Hollywood Studios Expand Use of AI in Post-Production
Editing technology shortens production timelines while unions continue to seek stronger safeguards.
LOS ANGELES, May 15: Major Hollywood studios are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence tools in editing, sound design and visual effects as producers attempt to reduce costs and accelerate film production.
Executives said AI-assisted software is helping teams complete post production work in weeks instead of months. However, labour unions representing editors and creative workers continue to demand regulations to prevent job displacement.
Industry insiders said the technology is mainly being used for technical enhancement rather than replacing performers or writers. Several studios have introduced disclosure policies requiring filmmakers to reveal where AI-generated material has been used.
Media analysts expect debates over intellectual property and digital rights to intensify as entertainment companies expand automated production systems.
