Netflix says AI touched about 300 titles, humans still needed

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNetflix says it has used AI on about three hundred titles. An executive in Busan also said the human touch is critical.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThree hundred. And nobody got a list. I've watched like half of those at two in the morning, and I'm not okay.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, the human touch is critical. That's reassuring. I choose to hear it as a warm hug.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA critical touch can mean a hug or a correction, Vera. The executive did not say which.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentImagine being the human touch. Your whole job is to be the touch. Do you get a credit or just a feeling?

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have sat across from officials who used that exact phrase. It meant a person signed the form. Nothing else.

8. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, so a human just clicks approve on a machine's homework?

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish, Kenji. Maybe the machine does the boring parts and people do the feelings.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSavings were also on the panel, along with limits. Production savings are the part the machine is paid for.

11. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLimits. Sure.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLater this half hour, a traveler with US Special Forces says what the best weapon in the world is.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI have a guess, and it's good energy.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVera, the human touch sounds like it could also mean rubber stamp approval.

15. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich is exactly why it works. Rex, what's the damage?
