Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
Production partners must inform their Netflix contact before using generative AI—especially if it involves final media, likenesses, personal data, or third-party IP. Written approval is required in these sensitive cases.
Netflix expects AI tools to:
Avoid copying identifiable or copyrighted material
Do not store, reuse, or train on sensitive inputs
Be used within secure, enterprise environments
Keep AI-generated material temporary—not part of final deliverables
Never replace talent or union-covered roles without consent
Netflix sees AI as a powerful creative tool—but one that must be used responsibly, without misleading audiences or compromising ethical standards.
The move follows backlash over AI usage in the documentary What Jennifer Did and comes alongside comments from co-CEO Ted Sarandos highlighting how AI helps make shows better and more efficient—like speeding up VFX for The Eternaut.

Insight: Meta Teams Up with Midjourney to Upgrade AI Imagery Across Platforms
A technical licensing partnership, not an acquisition

Creative tools for Meta’s ecosystem
The partnership is expected to power new AI-driven features across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta AI app- from in-post image generation to imaginative video content.
Meta accelerates AI strategy amid rising competition
Under new Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, Meta is blending internal talent and third-party tech. This move comes alongside its Superintelligence Lab revamp and efforts to catch up with rivals like OpenAI and Google.
Midjourney stays true to its roots
Midjourney will continue operating as a community-supported research lab- unfunded and independent—despite the tie-up.
