OpenAI (U.S. language model lab) backs AI-generated animated film
On September 6, 2025, OpenAI announced its support for financing and producing a full-length animated feature partly created with artificial intelligence technologies, aiming to test generative models beyond text and static images. The project leverages in-house tools built on ChatGPT’s architecture and experimental video models, in collaboration with independent studios in Los Angeles. The investment signals the widening use of AI in entertainment, while raising unresolved questions around intellectual property rights and the role of human creators. No verified figures were disclosed for the film’s budget or release date.
