AI is taking centre stage in today's film making

When watching a film, you may be the sort of person who immerses themselves in the story and special effects with a view to a couple of hours of escapism. Or, perhaps like me, you are the type who wants to work out what is real and what is computer generated imagery (CGI) and how realistic it really is. Either way, filmmakers continue to push the boundaries to improve the quality and variety of the special effects they deliver with the purpose of enhancing the audience experience and keep us coming back to the box-office. Films are now leaving the studio and the location shoot and moving in a steady stream towards the data center. The latest wave of technology seeing adoption includes areas such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, which are all subcategories of artificial intelligence (AI).
