Link: Lionsgate signs deal to train AI model on its movies and shows

AI startup Runway, known for using potentially unlicensed content, has now secured a deal with Lionsgate for legitimate access to its extensive film and TV show archive.

This collaboration aims to develop a new video generation model that enhances the creative processes of filmmakers and directors.

Lionsgate's vice chair Michael Burns views this technology as a means to create content more efficiently, already garnering interest for its applications in various production stages.

Runway’s CEO, Cristóbal Valenzuela, emphasizes the technology's role in innovatively supporting filmmakers’ storytelling efforts.

There is ongoing debate about AI in the film industry, leading to legislative actions that provide actors with more control over their digital likenesses.

Despite these concerns, the use of AI such as Runway’s could potentially help studios like Lionsgate manage costs effectively while exploring new creative avenues #
