Grandson of LG Feunder, Partner of the production company to bring AI to Filmmaking

Since AI tools became the main idea, the film, writers and actors are increasingly aware of whether the technology can help creativity or if it can replace humans. But there is a greater concern to address before we rush into the debate: AI cannot run without data centers and energy infrastructure.

The new joint type, Dubbed Utopai Timur, aims to solve the problem that requires developing a dedicated infrastructure for showing movies and TV using AI. The joint venture is held 50-50 by the investment company Savings Street (Sfr) and AI film and television production company Utopian StudiosSee rank-.

Sfr, founded in Brian Koo (grandson of LG Group Koo In-hwoi) and Amin Badr-El-Din, founder and chief executive for ventures in Badr investment, and creative contacts and creative contacts. Yes, in the meantime, providing technology, workflow and infrastructure.

The project will also involve producing film and television projects, and expanding access to Korean intellectual property for international audiences. Production will begin using the existing infrastructure, and the company expects the first content from this collaboration to be released next year, according to Ceilica Shen, coverica Shen, coveropai Studios.

In the short term, using AI will mainly be about lowering costs and increasing efficiency, Koo told TechCrunch.

“But beyond that, we are very excited about the new possibilities AI opens up. As we participate in the acquisition of new things. Currently, some of our focus is on Korea,” said Koo. “As short content is new when it first appears, we see an opportunity for a fresh approach. We not only have directors established in cinemas, but also make traditional films that are not limited to traditional films.”

But novelty alone will not alleviate the concerns of those who work in the entertainment industry, or who consume content. AI can one day replace people creative role like action, performanceand writeHowever, it often lacks the depth, sense of risk and emotional resonance of human stories. This has sparked a wider debate about the value of human creativity in an age when machines can imitate, but not completely, the human touch.

But Shen and Koo maintain that the use of AI is only aimed at improving existing processes. “That question has been at the center of everything we’ve built at UTopai Studios,” Shen said. “In the beginning, our focus was never on automation. Our work was designed to work with filmmakers, we didn’t need a writer to write, a director to do it,” said Shen.

Every model and every dataset used is fully licensed and contracted, ensuring the technology that takes care of the creators that makes the film possible, Shen added.

“We want to make creators understand that AI can expand their creative potential rather than competing. This can help us, giving us one of the most exciting results,” said Koo.

“Normally, content and IPs grow and improve – one IP develops after another – but with the right technology, especially AI, there is no possibility for AI growth. This is nothing to increase the audience. This is irrelevant,” he said.

The agreement follows SFR’s recent agreement with the provincial government of Jeollam -am to build 3-Gigawatt AI Data Center in South KoreaSee rank-.

“The data center is part of Stock’s mission to build the backbone for the industry’s next generation of wearable intelligence, AI, and computing equivalents,” said Koo.

The data center will be the basis for all Utopai in the East which is to develop content content, comprehensive data management, creative production, production and distribution.

While the financial details of the joint were not disclosed, the capital came from several channels, including the SFR investment vehicle, and industry partners in film and entertainment, the company said.

The JV will initially create Korean content, but aims to expand to other parts of Asia eventually. “Japan is definitely a good market as well,” making it a natural starting point for expansion, Shen noted, adding that he also sees significant potential in China and Thailand.
