North America is key player in AI video production market
North American countries are witnessing significant growth in their IT and technology industries and their media and entertainment sectors, which is partly fueled by advancements in AI technology. The presence of well-established AI video-generating software companies in the United States such as Pictory, Elai.io, InVideo AI, Synths Video and Wisecut further contributes to the expansion of AI video content in North America, according to R&M.
Major IT and software companies such as Amazon Web Services, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) have been investing in AI tech, including video generation. The new CEO of YouTube Neal Mohan recently announced plans to launch AI-powered video tools for content creators intended to enhance the overall quality and content of their videos.
As technology continues to advance and industry players prioritize AI-powered solutions, the market size for AI-powered video production is expected to grow significantly in the continent.
Although AI can be used to help make video production faster and more efficient, the technology also has harmful potential uses. The creation of deepfakes that digitally manipulate media for malicious purposes such as generating pornographic content involving celebrities or videos of prominent world figures saying things they did not actually say is a significant concern.
