intelligence startup, InterPositive, to Netflix, marking a significant change from his earlier skepticism toward AI technology.<\/li>\n<li>Affleck shifted from perceiving AI as a potential threat to viewing it as a meaningful innovation, particularly in the post-production phase of filmmaking.<\/li>\n<li>InterPositive focuses on assisting in postproduction tasks, such as reframing shots and adjusting lighting, rather than generating content from scratch.<\/li>\n<li>The acquisition reflects a broader trend in the media industry, with increasing acceptance of AI&#8217;s role in content creation and storytelling.<\/li>\n<li>Netflix&#8217;s chief content officer emphasized the importance of new tools expanding creative freedom without diminishing the roles of creative professionals.<\/li>\n<li>Affleck will join Netflix as a senior advisor as part of the deal, continuing to contribute to the company\u2019s creative efforts.<\/li>\n<li>Affleck founded InterPositive in 2022, aiming to help maintain visual logic and editorial consistency in film production.<\/li>\n<li>Netflix recently abandoned its $82.7 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery after Paramount\u2019s superior offer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Affleck sells his AI postproduction startup to Netflix | AI (artificial intelligence)
