At GITEX Global 2024, one of the world's largest technology exhibitions — held at the Dubai World Trade Center in October 2024 — AI in entertainment emerged as a standout trend when Sheeraz Hasan showcased Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai to the global tech community. The event brought together companies, startups, and technology enthusiasts tackling AI, 5G, and smart-city solutions.
Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai Take the Stage
Both Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai are Hasan's platforms, built to disrupt the entertainment industry through AI-powered content creation and new methods of storytelling. The launch at GITEX drew immediate attention from government entities, major technology organisations, and venture billionaires. Several expressed interest in deep-dive partnerships, while others signalled willingness to acquire stakes in the AI brands — and some floated the idea of acquiring both platforms outright.
High-Profile Meetings and Networking
Beyond the public showcase, Hasan engaged in a series of elite, high-profile dinners and business meetings with key figures in the AI field. These sessions strengthened his connections with prospective partners eager to participate in the AI revolution reshaping entertainment.
Disrupting Traditional Entertainment
The rapid growth of Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai signals a clear potential for disruption across traditional entertainment industries. Hasan emphasised that the platforms are designed not only to produce compelling content but also to expand the ways AI can be integrated into filmmaking, narrative development, and the audience experience.
What GITEX 2024 Revealed
The event gave Hasan a global stage to articulate his vision for AI-driven entertainment. With more than 200,000 participants from around the world and over 3,000 companies operating in the AI space present at GITEX 2024, the response to Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai underscored how seriously the industry is taking AI's role in the future of film and media.
