The moment a client asks, "So, how can we use AI in this?" most producers freeze. Not because they lack creativity, but because they're relying on guesswork. AI is already reshaping workflows, budgets, and expectations across both scripted and unscripted production – but very few people can explain where it's genuinely useful without overpromising, underpricing, or triggering compliance risks.
The productions getting it right are the ones setting boundaries early. They push back when AI doesn't fit, and they use it only where it truly de-risks a schedule or budget.
AI doesn't require a new job title – it requires producers with a working understanding of where AI helps and where it creates problems. That everyday fluency is the missing piece across the industry.
