Artificial intelligence is changing many aspects of the world we live in. If we focus on the audiovisual sector we can say that it is increasingly easier to generate all types of content. Suno AI, DALL·E and Sora, for example, have shown enormous potential for creating music, images and videos respectively.

Against this backdrop, different opinions have begun to emerge about how the evolution of generative technology could impact the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, China has just released its first animated series made with AI.

China Central Television (CCTV) has begun broadcasting what it considers to be the country's first animated series made largely with generative artificial intelligence. According to SCMP, it is 'Qianqiu Shisong', a production that is made up of 26 episodes with an average duration of 7 minutes each. And, as they explain, they have used both tools and their own data to materialize the project.

Behind this content are several generative tools, but a text-to-video generation model designed for the audiovisual market stands out. It has been developed jointly between China Media Group, which has offered hundreds of hours of television content, and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL), which has been in charge of developing the algorithm technology.
