IBM Watson’s natural language processing and machine learning capabilities is actually powerful enough to provide meaningful insights extracted from high unstructured data volumes makes its one of the most cutting edge technology platform in today’s time.
“Utilizing experimental Watson APIs and machine learning techniques, the IBM Research system analyzed hundreds of horror/thriller movie trailers”, explains a press release for this unique trailer.
Check out the first-ever, AI-created movie trailer, made for the upcoming film Morgan! The system looked at musical scores, the emotions in certain scenes (indicated by people’s faces, color grading, and the objects shown), and the traditional order and composition of scenes in movie trailers.

Overall, the trailer is nothing special and wouldn’t really seem too exciting without the Watson angle, but there is one aspect of it that stands out, namely the fact that it never explicitly says that the scary little kid is an AI. A human-in this case, the “resident IBM filmmaker”-still needed to step in to edit for creativity”. While a human editor still had to patch the scenes together to tell a coherent story, IBM’s AI shortened the process down to only 24 hours.
