Globally, the UK ranks third in terms of the number of AI companies and private capital investment in AI. It accounts for around half of all AI private capital investment in Europe. Every year, hundreds of new AI companies are established in the kingdom, which further contributes to the growth of the industry.The AI sector employs over 50,000 people and contributes more than £3.7B to the UK economy annually. Projections suggest that by 2035, the UK’s AI market’s contribution could rise to over £550B.The UK also hosted the world’s first AI Safety Summit last year. It brought together industry experts, academia, and civil society from the EU and 28 leading AI nations to agree on the Bletchley Declaration–a commitment to mitigate the risks associated with advanced AI.One subset of AI currently making waves is the generative AI. Using machine-learning algorithms to create new content, it does tasks such as content creation, artwork production, code debugging, and many more

My interest is piqued when someone tells me that the most significant disruption in the film industry in 100 years is happening. And it's all thanks to generative AI.Generative Al is a sub-field of machine learning, most prominently used in text-to-speech and text-to-design software. For example, ChatGPT writes text like a human — unless you're trying to write accurately about economics and finance. Dail E creates art from text.But Generative AI is also transforming film and video. For example, in Berlin, Colossyan helps companies make corporate videos, using AI and machine learning to generate real-life actors to create hyper-realistic, synthetic videos in minutes by inserting a script.And now it's hit Hollywood.Scott Mann is the co-CEO and founder of the neural network lab Flawless. He is a seasoned Hollywood Director and Producer, working with A-list talent on films such as "Heist", "Final Score" and "The Tournament", directing actors like Robert De Niro, Pierce Brosnan, Robert Carlyle, Kate Bosworth, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Bruce Willis.As a director, Mann saw a problem with the visuals of films dubbed into other languages:"I had written a script with the actors, directed it, edited it, adjusted it and been so careful with not just the words, but the nuance of the sound of a word or the inflexion in what's implied or, the detail of expression
