The network said AI tools will be used across the scriptwriting and production process, signaling a significant shift for Japan's television industry, which has long relied on human writers and producers. Fuji TV says the AI will support creative staff rather than replace them, handling repetitive tasks and helping generate ideas [1].

The announcement marks one of the most direct moves by a major broadcaster into AI-driven entertainment production. Details on which programs will use the technology, and when they will air, have not been released [1].

The move is likely to spark debate over the role of AI in entertainment and its impact on jobs in the creative sector, as broadcasters weigh the promise of faster, cheaper production against concerns from writers and producers [1].
