Fuji Television is turning to artificial intelligence to produce television drama, the Japanese broadcaster announced. The network plans to use AI tools across the scriptwriting and production process, making it one of the first major broadcasters to embrace the technology so directly.
The move signals 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.
Details on which programs will use the technology, and when they will air, have not been released. The announcement is likely to spark debate over the role of AI in entertainment and its impact on jobs in the creative sector.
