I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

Thanks Jerry.
I think anytime "AI" is mentioned, if some people have a negative view of it, then they may not "like" so much that the FDS is using AI more and more.
However, as I have recently been learning more by working with AI in creating music and watching some interviews with professional music producers and artists, there has been a change in thinking of many in this industry!
In fact, 1 famous music producer of several superstar music artists today said something like this:
"There are music producers I know personally, who are famous, and each of them about 1 year ago criticized people in music using AI, but who are now themselves using Ai in their music creation and production! And I know this because I have seen them firsthand in their studio working with AI tools"
My point of mentioning this is to help anyone who at first may wonder or be a little frustrated at the idea of the FDS using AI more in videos, audio, music, etc.
If various music, video, and entertainment artists and producers are changing their minds about AI and and are now using it on a professional level, not to "cheat", but to enhance creativity and also save many thousands of dollars, then no wonder the FDS along with many music and video professionals are now viewing AI as an important tool to enhance creativity and create/design high level production at a very low cost.
And if someone still "cringes" at the Governing Body permitting more use of AI, consider that Jehovah gave a specific prophecy concerning the last days in which the Earthly part of His Organization, who would only have funds by means of donations, would best use those sacred funds by doing something unexpected, using the "nations"! This article gives an excellent explanation!
Quote*** w15 2/15 p. 28 par. 16 Jehovah Guides Our Global Teaching Work ***
Consider some inventions of the past 200 years that God’s people have used in preaching the good news. We have mentioned trains, cars, and airplanes, but there have also been bicycles, typewriters, Braille devices, the telegraph, telephones, cameras, audio and video recorders, radio, television, motion pictures, computers, and the Internet.In various ways, such things have helped us to accomplish our commission to make disciples. In fulfillment of the prophecy that Jehovah’s people would “drink the milk of nations,” we have made wise use of resources of the nations, such as modern technology, in order to produce the Bible and Bible literature in many languages.—Read Isaiah 60:16.
