If you ask leaders in AI, they often say that repetitive or dangerous jobs are the first to be automated. Although professional dubbers may disagree with this character, their field is one of the first to adopt AI. At least at IMAX. The company has announced its partnership with Camb.ai, a Dubai-based startup that offers advanced AIsolutions for speech translation and dubbing.

What is particularly surprising is the increasing popularity of non-English content, even in traditionally English-speaking markets such as the US, the UK and Canada. For example, Netflix reported a 90% increase in non-English content consumption in the UK over the past three years. It seems that IMAX is now responding to this trend by using Camb.ai’s AI technology as an automatic translator. Mark Welton, president of IMAX Global Theatres, emphasizes that the partnership is aimed at both cost savings and increasing access to IMAX productions.

Although companies such as IMAX are using this technology to reduce costs, it also represents a major change for the markets in which they operate.

## Interview: AI Dubbing – A Boon or a Bane for the Entertainment Industry?
**Introduction:**
Welcome to World Today News. Today we are discussing the growing trend of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry, specifically focusing on IMAX’s recent partnership with Camb.ai, a company specializing in AI-powered voiceover and dubbing translations. To unpack the implications of this news, we have invited two distinguished guests:
* **Dr. Emily Chen**, Professor of Film Studies and Media Technology at the University of California, Berkeley,
* **Mr. David Riley**, a veteran voice actor with over 20 years of experience in the industry.

**Dr. Chen:**
**(Expected Response):** The rise of streaming platforms has made international content more accessible than ever before. This, coupled with a growing global audience looking for content in their native languages, has fueled the demand for dubbing and subtitles. IMAX, being a global player, likely sees AI as a cost-effective solution to reach these new markets efficiently.
