    Comments Off on Banijay Entertainment Says AI Love You at London TV Screenings

    Content powerhouse, Banijay Entertainment, today unveils AI Love You, a pioneering tech-driven factual format headlining its exclusive London TV Screenings event, Banijay @ BAFTA 195 Piccadilly. Created and produced by Banijay Nordic label Nordisk Film TV, Denmark and commissioned by TV 2, the life-affirming format incorporates cutting-edge AI technology, available to global buyers as part of the international package. 

    AI Love You celebrates love’s resilience against life’s impermanence. Exploring everlasting love and loss, the show follows couples who face an early end to life, as they decide to use AI to preserve their love beyond life itself. Guided by a psychologist and tech expert, they spend their final months cherishing each moment while creating a digital avatar of their loved one. The journey begins with a heartfelt gathering where family and friends contribute memories, letters, videos and anecdotes shape the AI, capturing the quirks and essence of the person. As they construct the avatar, couples also visit dream destinations, mend old wounds and reconnect with those who shaped their lives. Once complete, the AI is stored away until needed, and after their partner’s passing, the surviving loved one, supported by a psychologist, chooses whether to engage with it, or leave it untouched.

    James Townley, Chief Content Officer, Development at Banijay Entertainment, comments: “This trailblazing docu-format redefines how technology can enhance human storytelling. Packed with raw emotion, AI Love You pushes the creative boundaries and sets a new benchmark for non-scripted innovation.
