The goal is to reduce costs by replacing traditional storyboard artists and VFX crews with AI-generated “cinematic video.” Lionsgate hopes to use this technology for both pre- and post-production processes. While the company promotes the cost-saving potential, the creative community has raised concerns, as Runway is currently facing a lawsuit over copyright infringement.

The court declined to dismiss copyright infringement claims against the AI companies. The order could implicate other firms that used Stable Diffusion, the AI model at issue in the case. The case will move forward to discovery, where the artists could uncover information related to the way in which the AI firms harvested copyrighted materials that were then used to train large language models.
