While publishers are screaming The Sky Is Falling every time the term AI is heard, other infotainment sectors are embracing its potential.

This from Mercedes Milligan at Animation Magazine:

Genius Brands International announced a new AI-generated animated “shorts” series based on the original children’s show, Warren Buffett’s Secret Millionaires Club, launching on Kartoon Channel! (kartoonchannel.com), YouTube and Genius Brands’ social media channels on May 15.

The shorts will be produced by Genius AI Studio, utilizing various AI tools and pulling from stories co-created with, and voiced by, Warren Buffett for the original series, which focused on teaching enduring life lessons around financial literacy to children. Aimed at children aged 4-12 and their families, Secret Millionaires Club Minis is designed to educate children worldwide by sharing fun and interesting lessons and facts around business and money.

Paraphrasing the last paragraph, this post is designed to educate publishers worldwide by sharing fun and interesting lessons and facts around how AI can be used to benefit the industry.

Sadly, from reading the industry journals so far this year, it seems most book publishers have little or no idea of just how significant and how exiting this expansion of the AI arena is, and as with every other technological development we are going to be left behind. Again.
