Artificial intelligence will play a major role at the newly formed Skydance, as outlined in an internal document shared with the team on the company's first day of work. Leadership established the technology as one of its four main goals for the future.
Led by David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz, the strategy involves advancing technologically while telling stories with major brands like DC and Harry Potter. The studio plans to use AI advantages to support creators' imaginations and build a more productive business, promising that technology will always serve art rather than the reverse.
The message to employees noted that new technologies will help improve efficiency by handling a significant portion of daily work to reduce expenses.
Hollywood's reliance on technology is not entirely new, with Disney also organizing around AI to produce more content with smaller teams. In the case of DC, AI has already been used to help design the character Lobo for the film Supergirl, and rumors suggest it is being utilized in the production of Man of Tomorrow.
