The impact of entertainment on society is complex and multifaceted. Entertainment content can influence our cultural values, social norms, and individual identities. The representation of diverse groups and cultures in entertainment content has become an essential issue, with many calling for greater diversity and inclusion in the industry.
Artificial intelligence tools are rapidly transforming the production pipeline.
