The industry that I have chosen to write about is Entertainment and how Artificial Intelligence plays a big role. AI is currently playing a big transformative role in the industry by shaping its future. The reason I chose this industry is because of the endless possibilities AI offers in improving creativity, efficiency, and audience engagement. Unlike the other industries, entertainment usually thrives on new ideas, storytelling, immersive experiences, all of which AI can help with. AI isn't just a tool but a game-changer that can redefine how entertainment is created and consumed.

While AI is impacting industries such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, the entertainment sector stands out to me the most because of its direct influence on culture and our society. It allows filmmakers, musicians, and game developers to push their boundaries which makes the end product more interactive and visually stunning.

I am also personally very interested in the entertainment industry because it impacts my daily life, whether it's video games, movies, TV shows, or YouTube videos. Since AI is a part of almost every single entertainment company, it was only natural to choose this topic. In this padlet I will cover three different examples of how AI is applied in the entertainment industry and how it is important.

Entertainment - AI-Based Recommendation Systems

Entertainment - AI-Based Recommendation Systems

# data[].attributes.body
Artificial Intelligence is used extensively in entertainment platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video to provide a more personalized experience to their users. By collecting data of the user's preferences, browsing history, and behavior, the AI algorithms can suggest specific movies, shows, music playlists, books, and other different content that they are most likely to enjoy (Miquido).

When members use a certain service, they usually have something in mind that they would like to watch. Providing those options from the get-go as soon as they open the app can make the user experience flow smoothly with little trouble. A good recommendation engine can make or break an entertainment platform since most people are looking for easy-to-use apps and also whether or not the app has shows that people would like to watch.

AI plays a crucial role in game design by enhancing non-player characters, also known as NPCs, and redefining game mechanics to create a more realistic and engaging experience. By simulating intelligent behaviors, AI makes NPCs more interactive and challenging which can make the gameplay more enjoyable for players. Artificial Intelligence also plays a role in procedural content generation which allows for the automatic creation of new levels, characters, and in-game features (Leeway Hertz). AI-driven algorithms also play a big role in revolutionizing gaming. By analyzing user preferences, gameplay styles, genre interests, and past in-game decisions, AI can suggest certain game titles that align with the player's tastes.

AI is revolutionizing the music industry by enabling artists to restore, generate, and enhance music in unprecedented ways (Ohio Today). For example, The Beatles' "Now and Then" utilized AI to isolate John Lennon's vocals from an unusable demo, showcasing its restorative capabilities. AI also allows musicians to synthesize vocals, generate compositions, and personalize recommendations. However, there are ethical concerns because AI-generated songs can mimic artists without their consent. With AI accelerating music production due to its efficiency, it faces challenges in originality and artist recognition. Although AI in music can have its issues, it can still be used as a powerful tool to innovate the music industry.

Future Trends and Ethical Considerations

Future Trends and Ethical Considerations 

# data[].attributes.body
As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it raises ethical concerns that can have negative impacts on society. One issue that is a main concern is that Ai will replace some of the work done by human writers, artists, photographers, and other creative professionals in the arts and entertainment industry (MIT). In industries that requires creativity, it's hard to generate new content based on existing data and formulas every time. This can lead to a reduction of performers who rely on their fields to make a living. Additionally, AI's ability to generate massive amounts of content thanks to its speed can pose risks to authenticity. This can devalue human-made work and limit opportunities for new artists to flourish and thrive.

Another dilemma involves bias and fairness in AI algorithms. Since AI systems gain their knowledge from different datasets across the world, it can lead to societal, racial, and ethnic biases which leads to discriminatory outcomes. This can be a big issue when hiring people since these AI systems can weed out certain individuals.

Excluding creative and ethical concerns, AI also poses a serious threat to user privacy. Since most of our devices has AI-driven surveillance, facial recognition, and our personal data, it can raise concerns about individual freedoms and data security. If an enemy country or cyber criminal hacks into our systems, many people can have their social security number, addresses, and credit card information leaked. Most users don't understand the significance of how dangerous these private companies can be, since they prioritize profits over safety.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming society by reshaping industries and redefining creativity. It can be widely seen in the entertainment industry where AI is revolutionizing content creation and personalization. AI-driven algorithms help tune recommendation systems on streaming platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, and etc., by ensuring users receiving tailored content based on their preferences.

Beyond entertainment, AI impacts society massively by automating jobs, influencing decision-making, and shaping the public perception thorugh AI-generated media. Artifical Intelligence should be built to align with the overarching goals of humans, meaning it should have some sort of human moderation in order to prevent biases or data leakages from happening (Bernard Marr). Since hundreds of millions of users share their information with private companies, this can raise serious privacy issues if there are cyber criminals targeting these people. Mass surveillance by corporations and governments can be a violation of our rights and an invasion on our personal privacy.

Another major ethical concern is the potential for AI to create unfair systems. AI models are trained on large datasets, which will most likely contain biases related to race, gender, or socioeconomic status. If these issues aren't addressed, AI can perpetuate discrimination in hiring, law enforcement, and media representation. The challenge is ensuring AI systems are designed with fairness, accountability, and transparency in mind.

In my opinion, I think artificial intelligence can be one of the most powerful tools in the world if used by the right people. Due to its efficiency and speed, it can help millions of people in their line of work. Although it may be easy and quick to use, we should still be well aware of the negative impacts that AI can bring to society. I would advocate for stricter guidelines and laws regarding AI usages in big industries such as healthcare, education, entertainment, and businesses.

During this reseach process, I have learned how artificial intelligence is a very powerful tool and how it is mainly used in the entertainment industry. It also gave me a good idea on how dangerous it can be in the wrong hands. One of the challenges I faced was trying to organize the Padlet and making it look presentable so that it is easy to read for the audience. Researching about certain topics and picking out important details from articles was not an easy challenge as well. My final thought about the impact of AI on this industry is that although it can be useful for recommendation systems and algorithms, there should be a usage limit when creating art of films due to the lack of creativity.
