Amazon plans to use AI to speed up TV and film production
Amazon MGM AI Studio aims to cut production costs and speed filmmaking using AI, with a closed beta launching in March and results expected by May, officials said.
- On Feb 4, 2026 Reuters reported that Amazon plans to use artificial intelligence to speed up the process of making movies and TV shows from Los Angeles.
- Facing spiraling production budgets, Amazon created a small AI Studio led by Albert Cheng, operating under Jeff Bezos's 'two pizza team' model to cut costs and streamline creation.
- Amazon will lean on Amazon Web Services and partner with multiple large language model providers to offer directors more options for pre- and post-production filmmaking.
- An immediate production example is 'House of David', where director Jon Erwin used AI combined with live-action footage to expand battle scenes at lower cost, following job cuts at Prime Video.
- Amazon plans a closed beta by March to test AI tools, with results expected by May, emphasizing IP safeguards and involving creators to address actors’ concerns, Cheng said.
