Netflix Acquires Ben Affleck-Founded AI Moviemaking Business

Netflix Inc. acquired InterPositive, an AI filmmaking technology business founded four years ago by actor Ben Affleck.

The company uses artificial intelligence to help moviemakers perform tasks such as adjusting colors, applying visual effects and reframing shots, and learns as it goes. The tool is designed to be applied to a film in postproduction, not used to create a new one from scratch.
