👉 Background: Disney is the creators of all-time classics like Toy Story and Finding Nemo. But behind the screen, there is a tonne of tech and innovation the company uses to grow. Think: animations for all the Pixar movies, de-aging or re-aging actors, and a whole heap more.

👉 What happened: Disney's launched a task force to explore how to use AI to transform the entertainment landscape. They're hiring AI experts across almost all parts of the business, including Disneyland!

👉 What else: They're hoping AI can help them control the Hulk-sized costs of making movie and TV productions. And might we remind you that this is all happening while artists in Hollywood are protesting against AI replacing their jobs.

What's the key learning?

💡Not long ago, AI replacing jobs felt like a distant future thing... but now, it's getting more and more real.

💡Get this: Newscorp is using AI to pump out 3,000 news articles a day with a team of just four people managing these stories. Meanwhile, IBM is pausing their plan to hire 7,800 over the next few years thanks to AI.

💡With more developments in AI and the growing costs of making films, Disney's looking to use this technology to continue to grow. And who knows? Maybe our favourite movie stars in the future could even be a robot.
