Murky water instead of the perfect frame. BBC responds to the AI era
The new season of "Blue Planet" returns nearly a decade after the second installment, focusing on ocean plastic issues. Utilizing advanced underwater monitoring technology, the series aims for authenticity, avoiding AI-generated images. Producer Elizabeth White emphasizes the uniqueness of ocean creatures, while BBC's Jack Bootle confirms no generative AI was used. Filming spanned four years across five oceans, capturing new animal behaviors and innovative filming techniques. The series also addresses ocean threats, including climate change and pollution, narrated by the iconic David Attenborough. The premiere is set for November 1.
