How Does Artificial Intelligence Influence the Entertainment Industry?

How is Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming more invaluable and gaining recognition in the media and entertainment industry every passing day?

Artificial Intelligence is widely accepted and prized globally in the media and entertainment industry as it is currently sweeping its way in. Works such as creating, designing, and editing become a cumbersome task manually in this industry. It is significantly reduced by the efficient use of Data modelling and Machine Learning. It makes analysing, synching, and editing much easier and error-free using complex Algorithms.

Right from providing astounding VFX, AI and Talent analytics in the movies and games to the ease of streaming on platforms like Netflix, everything is just a touch away. This 'PUBG' and "Netflix and Chill" generation won't be able to think their lives off of these entertainment resources, which acts even as a source of distraction from our daily life hassles, and that is where Artificial Intelligence is triumphant.

The top 5 arenas where AI technologies rule in the entertainment industry are:

Generating subtitles:

What would happen if your favourite anime, K-drama, or regional movie is without subtitles? Heart-breaking, right? With its ability to simplify the process of lip-synching that of the actors with the appropriate subtitles and to reduce errors, Artificial Intelligence AI uses a series of complicated algorithms which understand the basic relationship of this database and makes the production of subtitles far easier, quicker, and readily accessible. It is especially more useful when the subtitles have to be translated into many different languages, such as in the case of regional series and movies. It also helps adjust, by calculating, the number of words or sentences adequate to be displayed on the screen, and generates subtitles based on the resultant data.

Personalized recommendations in streaming platforms:

Everybody enjoys the suggestions and recommendations that Netflix brings to us to make our day, isn't it? Well, AI models and algorithms have been programmed and are structured through data collection and machine learning, which helps propagate personalized recommendations for the user audience. Artificial Intelligence AI software collects, learns, and store the data gained from the user's prior watching preferences, and the more a person views, the better their customized their recommendations will be. The AI algorithms can survey and segregate through the vast range of genres, like the actors, plot, etc., and can give the best possible recommendations from thousands of options by quick scanning and making the viewers watching experience more satisfying.

Adjustment correspondent to viewer's requirements:

None would appreciate their entertainment experience getting blocked by their low internet speed now, would they? The Artificial Intelligence AI technology, being the smartest to detect, caters to the needs of the user's viewing conditions by compressing the audio or video in accordance to their internet speed, giving them the most suitable picture and sound quality with minimal disruptions. This is prominent and most useful in places with no stable source of internet, not failing to make the users feel content.

Astounding use of Visual Effects (VFX) in movies:

Aren't you totally shook by the Visual Effects in Spiderman-No Way Home? The spectacular use of Visual Effect (VFX) in movies nowadays, through the use of machine learning, has seen the dramatic proliferation of AI and Talent analytics in the media and entertainment industry. VFX includes the creation and manipulation and enhancement of imagery and the integration between actual footage and this manipulated imagery to create realistic-looking environments for the context. By the use of machine learning, face recognition, facial tracking markers, facial-capture technology, the original actor, scene or picture can be transformed digitally and the entire burden of splendid talent and background can be shifted to the AI-based technical actors.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Video-gaming:

One of the most influential arenas impacted by the expansion of AI is Video-gaming. The video-game designers synchronize more upgraded AI algorithms combining VFX facial capture, Virtual and Augmented Reality technology in real-time to the gaming audience a more challenging, futuristic, and real-life experience. AI strategies such as "search tree" algorithms opt for random trials for problem-solving and expand choices based on a particular scene or situations like that of the branches growing from the tree trunk. Thus this AI strategy scans and chooses from the thousands of possible scenarios, situations, and responses and provides the best possible challenging and interesting response for the player that would not wane off their interest. The combined use of Virtual and Augmented Reality would offer more distinct upgraded challenges and interests best suited to the individual and have them guessing whether the opponent is AI technology-based or a human.

AI is still yet to achieve its full potential and will continue to grow more extraordinarily in the coming decades and it is needless to say how much the entertainment industry would imbibe it in itself by working hand in hand to bestow the global audience with more spectacular experiences.
