Cutting-edge special effects have brought some of the highest-grossing films, like “Avatar” and “Avengers: Endgame,” to life. Historically, these effects are time-consuming and expensive to produce, but that’s changing. Now, AI offers more options. Co-founder and CEO of Metaphysic, Tom Graham, is at the forefront of reshaping Hollywood using AI — building tools that provide more fidelity and realism at a cheaper price. Graham joins Pioneers of AI to talk about how AI is transforming the entertainment industry, how Metaphysic’s technology works, and about his collaboration with director Robert Zemeckis on the film “Here.”
