Automated Subtitling Used For Marvel's Spider-Man 2!

Story Highlight
  • Sony is now utilizing AI for game and anime production.
  • For Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, automatic subtitling was used for different languages to increase efficiency.
  • For anime production, they’ve been using motion-capture and color-grading software to support creators.

With rising game production costs and inflation, the gaming industry is rapidly adopting the use of AI in production, thereby limiting the entire cost and time required for the development process. 

Sony, the parent company of PlayStation, also proudly leverages the use of Artificial Intelligence. Their use is quite ethical compared to other companies, as it involves automating processes that require a significant amount of manual labor, resulting in fast-tracking game and anime production.

Why it matters: The use of AI is regarded as highly controversial in fields requiring art and creativity. However, Sony utilizes this technology to support creators instead of replacing them.
