Netflix has announced its acquisition of InterPositive, a tech company founded by Ben Affleck in 2022, which focuses on developing AI tools for filmmakers. The terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed, but Affleck will serve as a senior adviser, leading a team of 16 engineers and creatives. The goal is to provide AI tools to Netflix's creative partners rather than selling them commercially. Affleck's motivation stemmed from his observation of AI's early applications in film, which he felt often fell short. He aimed to create a workflow that resonates with cinematographers and directors, emphasizing consistency and visual logic. Despite previous skepticism about AI's creative capabilities, Affleck now views it as a tool akin to visual effects. Netflix has expressed its commitment to empowering creators with AI, showcasing its use in projects like Happy Gilmore 2 and the Argentinian series El Eternauta. This partnership is expected to increase AI's presence in Netflix productions, with hopes that Affleck can guide its effective integration.
