• Artificial intelligence (AI) has undergone transformative advances since 2022, particularly through generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and diffusion models, fundamentally reshaping the creative industries. However, existing reviews have not comprehensively addressed these recent breakthroughs and their integrated impact across the creative production pipeline. This paper addresses this gap by providing a systematic review of AI technologies that have emerged or matured since our 2022 review, examining their applications across content creation, information analysis, post-production enhancement, compression, and quality assessment. We document how transformers, LLMs, diffusion models, and implicit neural representations have established new capabilities in text-to-image/video generation, real-time 3D reconstruction, and unified multi-task frameworks-shifting AI from support tool to core creative technology. Beyond technological advances, we analyze the trend toward unified AI frameworks that integrate multiple creative tasks, replacing task-specific solutions. We critically examine the evolving role of human-AI collaboration, where human oversight remains essential for creative direction and mitigating AI hallucinations. Finally, we identify emerging challenges including copyright concerns, bias mitigation, computational demands, and the need for robust regulatory frameworks. This review provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of current AI capabilities, limitations, and future trajectories in creative applications.

Draft, final, revised or unavailable, and only when the source says so. A first version is not thereby final.

• Nantheera Anantrasirichai — author

• David Bull — author

Role, entity and date per declared contribution. A role outside LOM's vocabulary is reported in the entry's description instead.

• URI: tag:aim-pro.eu,2026:oer/94988a1ebfff/record

The identifier of this metadata record — the resource's own, with /record after it, because the record is a description of the resource and not the resource.

• AIM-PRO WP3 OER harvester (arXiv) — creator

Who generated this record and when — a statement about the record, not about the resource.

• LOMv1.0
• aimpro-oer-profile/1

LOMv1.0, and the profile this was built against.

• text/markdown

One value per form held: the original as the source published it, and the Markdown this engine extracted.

• 263843

Bytes. The original's, because the resource is the file and not our conversion of it.

Where the source serves it.

No: the licence gate refuses anything it cannot establish open reuse terms for, before the bytes are requested.

• yes — attribution required (CC-BY-4.0)

Yes unless the licence reserves nothing — attribution is a restriction. The conditions after the dash are the licence gate's reading; the export carries LOM's bare term.

The SPDX id, the licence URI and the conditions. LOM has no element for any of the three, so this is where they survive.
