The upcoming David Attenborough-narrated BBC series Blue Planet III includes deliberately less-polished and cloudier shots as a counter-measure against AI fakery concerns. Producers have adopted this approach to reassure viewers of authenticity in the era of generative AI. The series also features cutting-edge filming technology, including a novel underwater CCTV camera nicknamed 'stonefish' cam, and returns after a decade since Blue Planet II to showcase new animal behaviour footage.

Key points

  • Uses intentionally less-polished footage to prove authenticity amid AI concerns
  • Features new underwater 'stonefish' CCTV camera technology
  • Returns 25 years after original series, 10 years after Blue Planet II
