To what extent is AI being used in movies and TV today?

AI is currently used in film and TV mainly for practical tasks like speeding up visual effects work, such as automating tedious manual edits. Examples include using AI tools for eye color changes in Dune: Part Two and facial blending in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. While many AI tools promise groundbreaking capabilities, the most effective ones today focus on efficiency and cost savings rather than flashy features.
