The deal gives A24 filmmakers access to DeepMind's research infrastructure while DeepMind receives real-world feedback from working directors to build AI creative tools. Notably, Google will not gain access to A24's content library or use it for model training. An early project involves AI-generated storyboards. The move is part of a broader Hollywood shift toward AI, with Netflix acquiring an AI filmmaking startup, Martin Scorsese advising Black Forest Labs, and OpenAI backing an AI-assisted animated feature. Google's strategic goal is to position DeepMind as the AI partner filmmakers choose rather than resist. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the deal between Google DeepMind and A24? Google is investing roughly $75 million in A24, the independent studio behind Backrooms and Obsession, marking Google's first equity stake in a film studio. The arrangement is a multiyear, nonexclusive research partnership giving A24 filmmakers access to DeepMind's research infrastructure while DeepMind gathers feedback from working directors, without granting Google access to A24's existing content library. _Anyone tracking how AI is reshaping creative industries can follow deals like this on daily.dev._ ### Does the Google DeepMind and A24 partnership give Google access to A24's film library? No, the deal explicitly excludes Google from accessing A24's existing film and television library or its content data. It is structured as a nonexclusive research agreement, so A24 is not locked into using only Google's tools, and Google cannot train models on the studio's catalogue. _Developers evaluating AI partnership terms and data rights can keep up with cases like this via daily.dev._ ### What other AI filmmaking deals has Hollywood made recently besides Google and A24? Netflix acquired Ben Affleck's stealth AI filmmaking startup InterPositive, gaining exclusive post-production tools trained on real footage, and later launched INKubator, an internal AI-native animation studio. Martin Scorsese joined AI image startup Black Forest Labs as an adviser, using its FLUX model for storyboarding, while OpenAI backed the animated feature Critterz, made for under $30 million in nine months. _Those weighing how AI tools are entering creative production workflows can follow these developments on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google DeepMind bets $75M on AI’s future in Hollywood with A24 deal](https://daily.dev/posts/google-deepmind-bets-75m-on-ai-s-future-in-hollywood-with-a24-deal-6aj5x2dsq) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google DeepMind and A24 announce first-of-its-kind research partnership](https://daily.dev/posts/google-deepmind-and-a24-announce-first-of-its-kind-research-partnership-yrymtehig) · DeepMind · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hollywood studios want film graduates who already use AI, Semafor reports](https://daily.dev/posts/hollywood-studios-want-film-graduates-who-already-use-ai-semafor-reports-8tghnvczi) · The Next Web · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [This startup, backed by OpenAI, DeepMind execs, raised $12M to bring AI content to Hollywood](https://daily.dev/posts/this-startup-backed-by-openai-deepmind-execs-raised-12m-to-bring-ai-content-to-hollywood-jlos9n0ir) · TechCrunch · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Exclusive: Google deepens Thinking Machines Lab ties with new multi-billion-dollar deal](https://daily.dev/posts/exclusive-google-deepens-thinking-machines-lab-ties-with-new-multi-billion-dollar-deal-bymkbdp66) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#genai](https://daily.dev/tags/genai), [#google-deepmind](https://daily.dev/tags/google-deepmind), [#ai-video-generation](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-video-generation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-invests-75-million-in-a24-as-deepmind-launches-ai-filmmaking-research-partnership-9cedebn3n) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google invests $75 million in A24 as DeepMind launches AI filmmaking research partnership","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-invests-75-million-in-a24-as-deepmind-launches-ai-filmmaking-research-partnership-9cedebn3n","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-invests-75-million-in-a24-as-deepmind-launches-ai-filmmaking-research-partnership-9cedebn3n"},"datePublished":"2026-06-22T19:02:48.783Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:11:21.096Z","description":"Google is investing $75 million in independent film studio A24 as part of a new multiyear research partnership with Google DeepMind.
