• Under the agreement, A24 and Google DeepMind will collaborate on multiple research and development projects over time.
• Alphabet's Google has also made a $75 million investment in the independent film studio, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. DeepMind did not comment on the investment's value.
• A24 will play an active role in developing new workflows, while filmmakers will retain full creative control, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, adding that the arrangement is not an intellectual property or data-training deal.
• The partnership will give A24 access to DeepMind's research, infrastructure and global reach, the source said.
