Netflix uses AI effects for 1st time to cut costs

Netflix says it has used visual effects created by generative artificial intelligence (AI) in one of its original TV shows for the first time, the BBC writes.

The streaming giant’s co-chief executive Ted Sarandos said AI, which produces videos and images based on prompts, was used to create a scene of a building collapsing in the Argentine science fiction show, The Eternauts.

He said the technology allowed the production team to complete sequences faster and at a lower cost.
