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

Though the buzz in Hollywood over artificial intelligence is old news, Lionsgate’s revolutionary move into AI is about to take the industry by storm. With AI being the cornerstone issue of both the writers’ and actors’ strikes in Hollywood in 2023, the industry is now witnessing how AI is being utilized in real time. 

Lionsgate will be partnering with Runaway, a creative technology company that specializes in AI, to integrate AI into its production process unlike any other studio has done before.

While other studios have begun to use AI in their process at various stages, this new partnership intends to integrate AI technology from pre-production to post-production.

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.
