Creative Industries Weekly AI News

November 17 - November 25, 2025

This weekly update showcases how artificial intelligence is transforming the creative industries across multiple sectors. A major study released on November 20th found that 87% of creators report AI has improved their content quality, while 77% of brands see better results using AI-powered campaigns. The research demonstrates that AI is helping creators with ideation, copywriting, and editing, with over half cutting editing time in half. Meanwhile, the film industry is embracing AI tools for previsualization, visual effects, and production planning. Filmmakers emphasized that AI amplifies human creativity rather than replacing it, with panelists at the Cairo International Film Festival calling AI a collaborative tool that enables faster workflows and more ambitious projects. However, concerns are rising among writers. In the United Kingdom, over half of published novelists fear AI will entirely replace their work, and 59% report their writing was used to train AI without permission. Many authors face income loss from AI competing with their jobs, and 85% expect future earnings to decline. The consensus across industries is clear: AI is reshaping creative work dramatically, but most professionals believe human creativity and emotion remain irreplaceable, particularly for storytelling that captures the complexity of human experience.
