TV companies are starting to use smart computers, called AI, to help think of new TV shows. Big companies like RTL Group and Banijay are trying this out. No TV show made by AI has been shown yet, but they are seeing if it can help. Some people think AI might not be as good as humans at making fun ideas. They say the best ideas come from human creativity.

AI can help in other ways, like watching camera feeds and giving useful information quickly. Some TV makers like using AI to help write and make ideas faster. They think it can help them do their best work. But others believe AI can't do everything humans can, especially making unique ideas. Even though AI is helpful, humans are still very important in making great TV shows.
