It&#8217;s the vertical where, in 2026, technology is reshaping the business model itself, not just the production tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generative AI in video production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI video models, driven by direct competition between OpenAI&#8217;s Sora and Google&#8217;s Veo, reached a level of quality by April 2026 that seemed like science fiction just a few years earlier: native 4K resolution, synchronised audio generated in the same pass (voices, ambient sound, effects) and multi-scene storyboards. On cost, though, the models remain very different from one another: Sora 2 bills by the second of output (around $0.75), while Veo 3.1 starts at roughly $0.15 per second in fast mode, a price gap that can reach a factor of 5 for comparable quality. It&#8217;s worth being clear about what these tools do well today (short content, demos, social media material, environment shots) and what they still don&#8217;t: a long feature production with scene-to-scene consistency, continuous characters and believable performance remains a goal generative AI has not yet reliably reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virtual production: filming inside the screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual production uses huge LED walls that project digital environments behind actors during filming, replacing the classic green screen and letting crews capture realistic reflections and lighting in camera, in real time. It&#8217;s now widespread across major productions, but the most interesting 2026 counter-example comes from someone rejecting it: Christopher Nolan, with <a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/nolans-odyssey-when-filmmaking-becomes-extreme-engineering\/\">The Odyssey<\/a>, is pursuing an extreme anti-CGI engineering approach, shot on IMAX film with practical effects and real locations instead of virtual environments. It&#8217;s the most useful section for readers precisely because it shows the two opposite paths available to a director today: one that builds the set inside a screen, the other that rejects the screen entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital actors and image rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the US actors&#8217; union negotiated a series of agreements regulating the use of artificial intelligence in production. The Video Game Agreement, ratified in July 2025 with over 95% of votes in favour, introduced consent and disclosure requirements for AI digital replica use and gave performers the ability to suspend consent for generating new material during a strike. The new TV\/Theatrical Agreement, ratified in June 2026 with 91.42% of votes, further strengthens these protections: any digital replica of an artist, living or deceased, requires informed consent and appropriate compensation, while so-called &#8220;synthetic performers&#8221;, entirely AI-generated characters occupying a role that would otherwise have gone to a human, are permitted only in exceptional cases, subject to bargaining with the union. A year and a half after the first agreement, SAG-AFTRA&#8217;s chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland describes digital replica adoption as a gradual increase, not a sudden explosion, a useful data point for covering the topic without falling into either alarmism or dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The algorithm decides what we watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaming platforms use recommendation models that analyse viewing history, time spent on each title, and even the exact moment a user abandons a piece of content, to decide what to show on the homepage. This system also shapes production decisions upstream: more granular engagement data steers which genres, running times and formats get commissioned. On the economics side, the crackdown on password sharing, launched by several platforms in previous years, has by now settled into standard industry practice, shifting part of subscriber growth from acquiring new users to converting people who were sharing someone else&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gaming has overtaken everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers describe a now-structural overtaking: the global video game market reached nearly $197 billion in revenue in 2025, against roughly $29.6 billion for the recorded music industry and roughly $33.9 billion for global box office in the same reference period, combined less than a third of gaming alone. Gaming is no longer a niche entertainment sector: it&#8217;s the dominant one, and the rest of media is increasingly measured against it. A case that captures this centrality well is <a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/gta-6-what-rockstars-patents-tell-us-about-the-games-technology\/\">GTA<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ITNEWS-DOMINIO.it\/gta-6-brevetti\/\"> 6<\/a>, whose patent filings offer concrete clues about the technology coming in the industry&#8217;s most anticipated title, while projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/the-nemesis-the-metaverse-that-combines-gaming-business-and-technological-innovation\/\">The Nemesis<\/a> explore the border between gaming and the metaverse as a new persistent entertainment format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interactive content and new formats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the border between gaming and traditional storytelling, interactive formats are growing: interactive storytelling where the viewer influences plot outcomes, second-screen experiences designed to be followed phone-in-hand during a live broadcast, and sports broadcasts enriched with statistics and overlays generated in real time by artificial intelligence. An example applied to mind sports is <a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/ai-poker-espn-wsop-tell-detection\/\">AI in poker at the WSOP<\/a>, where AI-assisted analysis tools are changing both TV coverage and, more controversially, how some players prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creator economy: the industry of one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The creator economy has reached industrial scale: individual creators now run genuine multimedia businesses, with production teams, merchandising and diversification across multiple platforms. The most citable case in the cluster is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ITNEWS-DOMINIO.it\/khaby-lame-step-distinctive\/\">Khaby Lame and Step <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/khaby-lame-billionaire-deal-the-975-million-operation-collapses\/\">Distinctive<\/a>, a $975 million valuation that shows how a single creator can build a company comparable in structure to a traditional production studio, no longer just a personal channel monetised through advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music and AI: the legal battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal front between record labels and AI music generators remains the most fast-moving part of this pillar. Warner Music signed a licensing deal with Suno in late 2025, and Universal Music did the same with Udio; Sony, by contrast, has settled with neither platform, and its claims over misuse of copyrighted material remain active: against Suno in Boston and against Udio in New York, with a key hearing expected in summer 2026 that could set a precedent on how fair use applies to training AI models, a question that extends well beyond music into text, images and video. Meanwhile, independent artists have launched their own separate class actions, arguing that the major-label settlements don&#8217;t protect independent catalogues, whose tracks were used for training regardless without consent or compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Italy: tax credits, production and AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Italy&#8217;s system of support for cinema and audiovisual production went through a deep reform in 2026. The Cinema and Audiovisual Fund shrank from roughly \u20ac700 million in 2025 to \u20ac606 million in 2026, with a further cut to \u20ac500 million already planned for 2027; production tax credit rates were reshaped to 30% for independent producers, 20% for productions by large non-independent companies, and 40% for international productions choosing Italy as a location. The reform also introduces a hard cap on available funds, ending the so-called &#8220;splafonamento&#8221; (over-allocation): between 2021 and 2025, authorised credits had exceeded actually budgeted funds by roughly \u20ac1.8 billion. The industry has reacted with mixed views: some observers describe it as a necessary reset of the books, others as a climate of uncertainty already pushing producers to delay or move productions abroad for lack of firm timelines. Cinecitt\u00e0, meanwhile, continues its industrial development plan as part of the broader effort to relaunch the studios as an international production hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will future films be made entirely by AI?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not in the short term for high-profile productions: generative video models are effective today for short content, demos and social media material, but a long feature with narrative continuity and believable performance remains a goal not yet reliably reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will actors disappear because of AI?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025-2026 SAG-AFTRA agreements regulate but do not ban the use of digital replicas and synthetic characters, requiring consent and compensation; adoption, according to the union itself, is proceeding gradually, not as a sudden replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does gaming really out-earn film and music combined?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes: in 2025 the global video game market topped $190 billion, against roughly $63.5 billion combined for the recorded music industry and global cinema box office over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are songs generated with Suno or Udio legal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on the label: Warner and Universal have struck licensing deals with Suno and Udio respectively, while Sony has active lawsuits against both platforms, with a key ruling expected in summer 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it still worth filming in Italy after the tax credit reform?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rates remain competitive (up to 40% for international productions), but the industry reports a climate of uncertainty tied to how the reform is being rolled out, a factor worth monitoring for anyone planning a production in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The viewer in 2035<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If today&#8217;s trends keep going, the viewer of the next decade may increasingly become a creator too: generative AI tools accessible to anyone for producing short content, gaming absorbing a growing share of time and revenue compared with traditional film and music, and an ever-thinner line between who watches and who generates the entertainment they consume. The open question isn&#8217;t whether AI will change the entertainment industry, already obvious in 2026, but what balance will emerge between human and AI-assisted creation, and who will actually capture the economic value: studios, platforms, or individual creators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated: August 2026 MediaTech is the set of technologies acting on four stages of entertainment: production, distribution, consumption and independent creation. 2026 is the year generative AI stopped being&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[153,79],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8726","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-int-focus","8":"category-sections"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Entertainment Tech 2026: AI, Streaming &amp;
