The Walt Disney Company has formed a task force to investigate the potential applications of AI throughout its various business units, reports Reuters, including cutting costs and enhancing customer experiences.
Among other uses, Disney hopes that AI can help control the soaring costs of movie and television production, which can sometimes reach $300 million for major film releases.
In 2021, Disney showed off Groot, a free-roaming AI-powered robot, based on the Marvel character, that can interact with park guests.
Currently, Disney’s website lists several job openings seeking employees with expertise in machine learning or artificial intelligence, showing the company’s commitment to exploring AI applications.
In November, we covered a Disney technology that could automatically age or de-age an actor’s appearance using neural networks.
One anonymous executive who has worked with Disney told Reuters, “AI research at Disney goes back a very long time and revolves around all the things you see being discussed today: Can we have something that helps us make movies, games, or conversational robots inside theme parks that people can talk to?”
