THE AI ANGLE
Generating visual effects of missile strikes

Sky TV produced a documentary series called The Wargame that simulates a Russian attack on the United Kingdom. The production uses generative AI to show missile strikes alongside former politicians acting in an unscripted crisis exercise. The project offers media analysts and defense planners a model for presenting simulated national emergencies to the public.
