AI Tools Revolutionize Science, Threaten Hollywood

AI's impact on science and entertainment is making headlines, with Google DeepMind developing cutting-edge AI tools for researchers while a new video generator from TikTok's parent company faces copyright concerns. Simultaneously, scientific journals are issuing expressions of concern regarding previously published research, and Netflix has announced a slate of productions for 2026.

Google DeepMind is creating advanced AI science tools for 3 million researchers across 190+ countries, according to Fortune. The initiative aims to unlock AI's potential to accelerate scientific discovery, addressing some of the greatest challenges facing communities globally. Five years ago, their AlphaFold AI system solved the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction, demonstrating the technology's potential.

Meanwhile, ByteDance, the Beijing-based creator of TikTok, has launched Seedance 2.0, an AI video generator. The tool, currently available only in China, allows users to generate high-quality AI videos using simple text prompts. However, this has drawn criticism from Hollywood organizations, including the Motion Picture Association, who claim the tool violates copyright by using copyrighted works and the likenesses of actors without permission, as reported by Fortune.

In the realm of scientific publishing, Nature News has issued editorial expressions of concern regarding previously published research. One concern involves western blot bands in a 2010 article, where the editors noted similarities in the bands, and the original data could not be verified. Another expression of concern was raised regarding a 2000 article, with similar issues regarding western blot bands. In both cases, the authors do not agree with the expressions of concern. Readers are advised to interpret the results with caution.

Netflix has also announced its 2026 slate of productions for Australia and New Zealand, featuring Alan Ritchson, Charlize Theron, and Florence Pugh, according to Variety. The lineup includes high-profile international productions that utilized Australian locations and crews.
