The studio aims to cut time and costs with a new caption-generation tool using artificial intelligence in the production pipeline.

Warner Bros. Discovery and Google have created a new caption generation tool, known internally as "caption AI." The tech was built on Google's Vertex AI development platform for generative AI products.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is partnering with Google Cloud to generate closed captioning for content on the studio’s Max streaming service in the US. WBD will use a new “caption AI” solution that runs on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to generate speech-to-text for some shows, starting with “unscripted programming.”
