AI is ready to take over the filmmaking world, with reports suggesting that it may be incorporated into diverse filmmaking components such as dubbing, editing, scriptwriting, and even production management.
The dawn of such AI technology in Bollywood is set to herald in a new age in the Indian cinematic universe, led actively by G42, a firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
Reimagining Dubbing in the Indian Film Industry
A notable aspect of G42’s technology is AI-embedded dubbing, committed to reshaping the art for increasingly diverse Indian localities.
Manu Jain, G42 India CEO, states that this technology can offer dubbing in an array of languages while keeping intact the distinct voice of the actor. For instance, celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan or Akshay Kumar can have their dialogues rendered in languages like Tamil or Telugu without any compromise on their unique vocal notes.
This evolution would mean a more engulfing experience as film enthusiasts will be able to indulge in their love for movies in their mother tongue!
Unifying with Bollywood for Elevated Production
G42’s foray into Bollywood has significance extending beyond just dubbing.
With a legacy of pioneering AI, that includes the creation of Condor Galaxy, regarded as the world’s prime AI supercomputer, and Jais, which is recognized as the first open-source Arabic language model, G42 will also spearhead their expertise into meeting Bollywood’s production requisites.
From aiding in script organisation to efficient scheduling and workflow, embedding AI will promise enhanced efficacy and personalisation in content creation.
A monumental G42 roll out scheduled for India is Nanda; a high-volume Hindi language model, (LLM), schooled on in excess of two trillion tokens.
Primed for cinema-centric uses, Nanda positions Bollywood to churn out content that resonates more profoundly with the Hindi-speaking audience. It marks a noteworthy stride towards marrying language-specific AI with India’s entertainment business.
AI in Music and Global Impact
The influence of AI isn’t limited to traditional film production. Notable filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has embraced AI for music production, announcing that his new venture, RGV Den Music, will exclusively use AI-generated music for his upcoming projects. This reflects a broader trend seen in Hollywood, where studios like Warner Bros and Disney are exploring AI for data analytics and story development.
However, as AI’s role in the creative industry grows, so do concerns over its impact on artistry. While AI can streamline production, critics like filmmaker Christopher Nolan caution that over-reliance on technology could diminish the human touch in storytelling, a debate that Bollywood will likely face as it increasingly adopts AI-driven solutions.
