Netflix正式收购了由演员兼导演本·阿弗莱克创办的AI电影制作公司InterPositive，交易价格为5.87亿美元（约合人民币40亿元）[1]。该公司主要开发用于电影制作的人工智能工具，涵盖灯光调整、镜头重构、后期修复等功能[1]。
收购完成后，本·阿弗莱克将以高级顾问身份加入Netflix[1]，InterPositive的工程师和研究人员团队将进一步扩大[1]。根据规划，2026年Netflix将有超过300部影视作品使用这些AI工具进行制作[1]。
Netflix联席CEO泰德·萨兰多斯表示："伟大的作品需要伟大的艺术家才能创作出来，人工智能并不会改变这一点"[1]。
InterPositive被严格限制在"工具"角色，不涉及"画面生成""剧本创作"等功能[1]。使用这些AI工具可以帮助作品完成速度提高两倍、成本节约一半[1]。本·阿弗莱克曾在2022年与马特·达蒙共同发起"艺术家权益计划"[1]。
Netflix has officially completed its acquisition of InterPositive, an artificial intelligence film production company founded by actor and director Ben Affleck, for $587 million [1]. The company develops AI tools designed to assist film production teams with tasks including lighting adjustment, shot reconstruction, and post-production restoration [1].
Following the acquisition, Affleck will join Netflix as a senior advisor [1]. The engineering and research team at InterPositive is expected to expand further [1]. Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos stated that "great work requires great artists to create it, and artificial intelligence will not change that" [1]. The company has emphasized that InterPositive's AI tools will remain confined to their role as production instruments, explicitly excluding generative image or screenplay creation functions [1].
By 2026, Netflix projects that more than 300 film and television productions will utilize these AI tools in their production process [1]. According to the company, implementation of these tools can accelerate production completion by two times while reducing costs by half [1]. Affleck previously co-initiated an "Artist Rights Initiative" with Matt Damon in 2022 [1].
