Ever since the first Terminator movie was released, we have seen portrayals of robots taking over the world. Now we are at the beginning of a process by which technology—specifically, artificial intelligence (AI) — will enable the disruption of the entertainment and media industries themselves.

To tackle the challenges, the team tapped into robotic cameras and remote editing.
