Artificial intelligence has entered the distribution game. Are you excited or terrified?
I have to admit, when the prophets came to warn us about machines and automation, I assumed my job in Hollywood was safe. I thought that even with the giant tech corporations taking over, and the constricting of studios, and the whittling away of jobs, that writing and original ideas would be in the clear.
But with the rise of artificial intelligence and the desire to cut costs, it seems like everything is destined for a computer to do the work.
The newest iteration that came across our radar is Largo.ai. Please excuse the technical speak, but the program has a cognitive pattern understanding system from video, audio, and text. I hesitate to say it’s a neural-net processor, a learning computer, but it seems close!
They convert these cognitive patterns into meaningful insights for producers, writers, directors, and distributors.
