AI Dubbing: Instant Global Reach by 2027?
Localization is slow and expensive. This prediction asks if a major streamer will offer **AI-generated subs/dubs in 50+ languages** instantly at launch for new originals by 2027.
The Efficiency Play
The high **'Yes'** vote is driven by the quality leap in AI voice synthesis (e.g., ElevenLabs) and the strategic need for global growth. Netflix and YouTube are already piloting these technologies. AI allows for 'lip-sync' dubbing (altering the actor's mouth movements) and preserving the original actor's voice in a different language. The cost savings and the ability to launch a show globally on Day 1 in minor markets make this an inevitable adoption curve for the industry giants.
