Immortal Studios Launches Groundbreaking AI Story Engine in Collaboration with SingularityNET

Pioneering Project Redefines Ethical, Legal, and Creative Uses of AI in Mainstream Entertainment

Immortal Studios, an independent pop culture content studio renowned for its modern interconnected Wuxia (martial arts fantasy) "storyverse," announces its collaboration with leading Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) company, SingularityNET, to launch a revolutionary AI story engine. This project marks a significant milestone in the ethical and legal application of AI within global mainstream entertainment.

A New Era for Wuxia Storytelling

Immortal Studios' proprietary AI engine is infused with the complete library of legendary Wuxia creator Shiao Yi, encompassing over 60 published novels and more than 30 film/TV adaptations. This collaboration with SingularityNET has enabled the development of a Large Language Model (LLM) that will advance Immortal’s mission to “awaken the hero in everyone” through innovative storytelling at scale, while maintaining legal ownership and chain of title to derivations of its body of work.

Breaking Boundaries in AI and Entertainment

The first phase of this groundbreaking project involves the mass translation of Shiao Yi’s and other seminal works—currently housed at UCLA’s Shiao Yi Wuxia Library and the Contemporary Writer’s Museum in Beijing—into English. With the first batch of marquee titles already completed, this initiative is set to make every aspect of Shiao Yi’s timeless Wuxia stories available for multi-platform storytelling.

Addressing Industry Pain Points

Immortal Studios is proactively tackling several key issues that have caused friction in the use of AI in the entertainment and gaming industries:

1. Empowering Creatives: Immortal Studios is a creator led company that champions the Centaur model, blending human creativity with exponential technologies. This initiative empowers Immortal’s human creators and editors with advanced tools.

2. Organic AI Integration: Unlike legacy companies that bolt on AI as a feature, Immortal Studios has built its AI engine from the ground up, making it an intrinsic component of its processes and systems.

3. Legal Compliance and Ethical Use: By using its vast IP holdings as training data, Immortal Studios mitigates both legal risks and moral responsibilities associated with AI-generated content. This approach sets a new standard for ethical AI use in entertainment, addressing pushback from legal departments and creatives alike.

"A Legacy Reimagined"

“As the creator of an interconnected story world across comics, films, and games with many human creators—and heir to my father’s legacy of one of the biggest IP libraries in Wuxia—Immortal Studios is breaking the rhetorical logjam around AI by doing it,” said Payhuan Peter Shiao, founder and creator of Immortal Studios. “With SingularityNET’s global team of AI scientists, we are building and scaling our own vast IP engine, composed entirely of our copyrights and creations, and our creative teams. Our work will champion the ideals of Centaur organizations, blending human creativity with exponential technologies to amplify, scale, and curate stories that reflect a collaboration between human creators, technology, and fans. We believe the end result will be premium content at scale—faster, cheaper, better.”

A Partnership of Visionaries

SingularityNET founder and CEO, Dr. Ben Goertzel, along with Chinese data scientist Dr. Ruiting Liang, have joined Immortal’s advisory board. They expressed their enthusiasm: “This collaboration addresses a critical aspect of global technological singularity—accessing and preserving the richness of global cultures. Our AI capabilities, applied to Immortal’s Wuxia stories, provide a landmark opportunity to explore and share the historical, metaphysical, and philosophical foundations of this storied cultural tradition. This project is both incredibly fun and profoundly meaningful for global culture and technology.”

In addition to using Shiao Yi’s extensive body of work and Immortal’s own world bible to train its engine, Immortal is in discussions to ethically and legally include other large bodies of work and data from various schools of Wuxia knowledge and practice, histories, legends, lores, philosophies, and influences. Strategic partnerships with institutions like the Shaolin Temple, Kung Fu Magazine, and academic institutions in Asia are also being explored.
