Tyler Perry halts £630m studio build over AI fears

Acclaimed filmmaker Tyler Perry has announced that he is halting the construction of his planned £630 million studio due to fears surrounding artificial intelligence. Perry, known for his successful films and TV shows, including the Madea franchise, cited concerns about the potential impact of AI on the entertainment industry.

In a statement released by his production company, Perry expressed his worries about the rapid advances in AI technology and the potential for it to disrupt the traditional filmmaking process. He stated that he wants to take the time to fully understand the implications of AI before moving forward with the construction of the studio.

This decision comes as a surprise to many in the industry, as Perry had initially been praised for his ambitious plans to create a state-of-the-art production facility. The £630 million studio was set to be one of the largest in the world, spanning over 300 acres in Georgia.

Despite the setback, Perry remains committed to his vision of creating a cutting-edge studio that will revolutionize the way films and TV shows are made. He has stated that he will be working closely with experts in AI to ensure that his studio is equipped to handle the challenges and opportunities that AI presents.
