Artificial Intelligence and Big Data have penetrated every business process and are increasingly used in modern systems to improvise the process to give a better user experience.

AI and Big Data together work smartly, significantly, more efficiently, and with more accuracy than the traditional and former business processes and systems do.

AI AND ITS REVOLUTION ON CINEMA

AI has impacted everyday lives from better user experience to the greatest user experience. Such as predicting human behaviors while reading and identifying vulnerabilities in human habits, even using them to influence human decision-making.

AI and its capabilities are simply mind-blowing!

Creativity was one thing that we thought was our thing. Only humans can be creative when they come up with something with their minds, which is unique and impeccable. After all, a machine is just a machine!

No, wait there!

In recent years, the movies and short films created wholly by AI and Robotics are perfect examples of creativity of its kind. And when we analyze the impact it has brought into modern cinema, we regard it as astonishing.

It is changing human experience with more originality and accuracy, that you just cannot tell what is real and what is artificial.

Ironically, it’s named artificial, I mean WOW!!! and HOW???

This new technology is automating the film industry. And the results are revolutionizing. Such as, “Do You Love Me” was the first film co-written by an online AI conversationalist, Cleverbot, which went viral in 2016.

Nowadays, many of the movies that were nominated for Oscars have an integral AI part to be played in them. Popular characters of the movie Avengers: Endgame were mostly characters created digitally like Thanos and the Hulk.

AI does not just only play a part in creating characters or writing film scripts, it has been utilized in many ways, such as production activities; selecting locations, planning & scheduling, etc.

AI algorithms have also been found effective in analyzing the performances of the actors. Editing the movies and even creating trailers for the movie has also been done by AI. IBM’s Watson, an AI machine, has created the first movie trailer for the movie Morgan. Watch the whole trailer here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEzuYynaiw. You will be shocked to see how AI Watson has come up with the scariest scenes from the movie to make up the trailer. And it is all done in a day, whereas film editors take weeks to make an effective trailer for the movie.

Moreover, AI is also effective in the promotion of movies. To make sure the movie becomes a box-office hit, an AI algorithm can be utilized for running marketing campaigns or creating hype before the movie release, or organizing movie’s promotional events or screening with the right audience at the right spot.

There are tons of movies in which the advancement and effectiveness of AI have been shown.

AI is powerful and there is no doubt it has changed the human experience and revolutionized the entertainment industry as well. It has worked to solve modern problems, and that is why we need to learn AI and how it works.

We live in a world of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data and we rather study and utilize them to transform the world than be scared of them.
