argument: Notizie/News - Intellectual Property Law

According to an article from Giornalettismo, Hollywood faces new challenges with the emergence of Showrunner, an advanced AI platform capable of creating short films from simple prompts. Developed by "The Simulation" in San Francisco, Showrunner utilizes a large language model (LLM) called Show-1, alongside GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion, to generate up to 20-minute videos. Despite the industry's recent agreement to limit AI use, this technology threatens to reduce the need for human roles in film production. The platform currently focuses on animated series, with future possibilities for more realistic content. The industry's response will depend on regulatory frameworks like the AI Act and the Copyright Directive in Europe.
