BFI Research: 130,000 Film & TV Scripts Have Been Used To Train AI


A BFI AI report has found that 130,000 film & TV scripts have been used to train generative artificial intelligence models.

Scripts from more than 130,000 films and TV shows have been used to train generative AI models, which a BFI report said today “poses a threat to the fundamental economics of the screen sector.” The report added that the “existing training paradigm for generative AI models poses a threat to the fundamental economics of the screen sector and its ability to create value from making and commercialising new IP.” While the review pointed to high-profile examples of AI-induced backlash such as Oscar-winner The Brutalist ’s enhancement of the pronunciation of Hungarian dialog, it added that “screen sector adoption of generative AI is also happening behind the scenes, without public outcry.”
