China uses AI microdramas in publicity campaigns
China is expanding the use of artificial intelligence to make short videos and microdramas for publicity campaigns.
The productions are mainly made by publicity authorities and official media, often working with private studios and digital creators.
Their stories present Chinese culture, government policies, development achievements and revolutionary history.
This approach follows directives that call for technology to strengthen ideological work and guide public opinion.
One recent example is The Iron Remembers, an AI microdrama made by the news media centre of the People’s Liberation Army.
Its first episode was released last Thursday.
The productions mark a shift from popular AI dramas built around romance, revenge or survival themes.
The sources do not say what will happen next with the series or how widely the approach will be used.
