Last week, Netflix revealed it has acquired the AI company InterPositive co-founded by Ben Affleckk, which develops tools that assist filmmakers edit footage in post-production.

According to Bloomberg, the deal could reach up to $600 million, potentially making it one of Netflix’s largest acquisitions. The company’s previous record was around $700 million for the Roald Dahl Story Company.

Although Netflix has not officially disclosed the financial terms, Bloomberg sources report that the immediate cash portion could be lower, while the InterPositive owners may earn additional payouts linked to specific performance milestones.

The AI company InterPositive develops tools that help filmmakers with post production tasks, such as correcting continuity errors or enhancing visual scenes. The technology doesn’t generate new content or use existing footage without authorization.

This deal is part of Netflix’s ongoing strategy to expand AI applications in content production. Part of this strategy was using AI to create a building-collapse scene in the Argentine series “The Eternaut.”

Other companies also go in the same direction – Disney started partnering with OpenAI and Amazon is establishing internal AI teams for film and TV projects.

The move have has sparked concern among industry professionals about potential job losses and questions over whether AI companies fairly compensate creators for the data used to train their systems.
