Lionsgate, the studio behind popular films series’ like The Hunger Games and John Wick, recently announced it’s letting a startup mine its catalog works with the goal of creating an AI model capable of creating storyboards and other pre- and post-production work.

The deal will see Runway train a new AI model on Lionsgate's film and TV library as the entertainment company uses the tech "to develop cutting-edge, capital-efficient content creation opportunities."

The two companies are working together to develop a custom AI model trained on Lionsgate's content library. Some say the deal is bad news for human artists, others say it’s a natural next step for the industry.
