"Netflix has been building a new internal studio called INKubator that aims to use AI to produce short-form animated content: The streamer is hiring for a wide variety of roles, including producers, software engineers, and CG artists to staff INKubator, according to a number of recently published job listings."
"A listing for INKubator's head of technology calls it "our next-generation, creative-led, GenAI-native animation studio," with plans to "bridge innovation with imaginative storytelling." INKubator's long-term technology strategy will focus on "GenAI-enabled workflows, artist tooling, and scalable, secure multi-show environments," according to the listing, suggesting that this is about much more than one-off experiments."
""We aim to develop feature-quality content," emphasizes another listing. At least for now, Netflix doesn't plan to produce the next KPop Demon Hunters with AI. Instead, INKubator will be all about "creating animated shorts and specials using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines," as one of the listings puts it."
