Times of India · business

Actor Ben Affleck has sold his AI filmmaking company, InterPositive, to Netflix for a reported $587 million. Affleck believes Hollywood should not panic about artificial intelligence potentially replacing jobs. He explained that while AI can generate convincing images, it currently lacks the precision and consistency required for complex filmmaking tasks. Affleck developed InterPositive to give filmmakers more creative control and ensure AI tools serve their needs, rather than replace them entirely. He argues that AI will augment, not eliminate, the role of filmmakers.
