Netflix says it now uses AI in about 300 productions

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the company uses AI in roughly 300 productions, mostly in post-production. He cited the docuseries "The American Experiment," which used 17 minutes of AI-assisted footage produced twice as fast at half the cost.

Why it matters: Netflix says the savings will likely fund more content rather than shrink its $20 billion budget, framing AI as a capacity multiplier rather than a cost-cutting tool, at least for now. The specific production count and per-project numbers give one of the more quantified public looks at AI adoption inside a major studio.
