Lionsgate's bold move into AI is about to change filmmaking forever

FOX News

With this elaborate integration of AI, there is, of course, the fear that AI will take over or replace human talent. However, the recent collaboration between Lionsgate and Runway shows that it has actually been enhancing the process versus diminishing creativity. Instead of replacing their human counterparts, these technologies are being used as tools to help humans cut down on time for specific tasks, which allows them to focus on the joy of creating. It also enables more creative approaches at a lower cost.

Emmy's drama series nods could look strikingly familiar - unless there's a bold move

Los Angeles Times

Three weeks after FX's Reagan-era spy drama "The Americans" was more or less ignored by Emmy voters last year (again!), the Television Critics Assn. You could view the award as a rebuke to the Television Academy or just read it at face value as a celebration of the show's artful, seamless storytelling and extraordinary acting. The question now is: Will Emmy voters remember that award, along with the Peabody that "The Americans" won last year, and finally nominate the program for drama series? As much as I'd like to think that Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields' show and its cast -- particularly leads Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys -- will finally break through for its fourth and, arguably, best season, I'm not optimistic. For this to happen, the 19,000-plus voting members of the academy (specifically, the ones who haven't been voting for "The Americans" the last three years) will probably need to know the events of its first three seasons for the current betrayals and soul-crushing disappointments to fully resonate.


Why Google's fancy new AI assistant is just called 'Google'

#artificialintelligence

On Wednesday Google kicked off its I/O developer conference by unveiling a series of new artificial intelligence-powered products, including a messaging app with a virtual assistant and and a home speaker with a voice interface. Given what we've seen in the explosion of AI assistants and software bots from other companies, you'd expect Google to brand these products' connective tissue with a personality and a name -- Apple has Siri, Amazon has Alexa, and Microsoft has Cortana. Instead, Google's new AI assistant is just called… Google Assistant. What used to be known as Google Now, the predictive assistant inside Android, has been broadened into a bigger initiative to bring those capabilities further into the real world, bolstered by years spent building out its extensive Knowledge Graph and honing its ability to parse human language. It's an indication of Google's ambitions for the product that it wants us to simply call it Google. "We think of this as building each user their own individual Google."
