Morgan: IBM Watson Creates World's First Movie Trailer Using AI

For a scary movie, an important thing is how a person digests it. "Our team was faced with the challenge of not only teaching a system to understand, "what is scary", but then to create a trailer that would be considered "frightening and suspenseful" by a majority of viewers," writes Michael Zimmerman for IBM. Over 100 horror movie trailers were fed to the IBM Watson in order to give IBM Watson the "feel" of a horror movie. Though in reality, it is just some binary numbers for the AI bot. The trailer videos were segmented into small moments on which IBM Watson performed an analysis of audio, video, and how each scene was composed.
