In addition to traditional licensing deals, Curiosity is actively licensing hundreds of thousands of hours of video and audio content to top-tier technology companies for use in generative AI training. This emerging business line reflects the accelerating demand for high-quality, richly annotated media assets in the development of next-generation artificial intelligence and machine learning tools.

"Content licensing has become one of the most dynamic engines of our business," said Ludo Dufour, VP of Content Licensing at Curiosity. "These latest deals are part of a broader effort to unlock the full value of our catalog, including new and classic titles, by getting them into the hands of more viewers, educators, and platforms around the world. The fact that our programs resonate across so many cultures speaks to the universal appetite for smart, entertaining factual content."
