The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in documentary filmmaking is reshaping the creative and production processes. AI offers innovative possibilities for content generation and enhances efficiency, but it also raises critical questions about authenticity and manipulation. The purpose of this study is to explore how AI technologies are integrated into documentary filmmaking and to assess their impact on the industry. This paper employs a case analysis and literature review to examine the various applications of AI in documentary production, focusing on content analysis, automated editing, and virtual content creation. The study also addresses the ethical concerns related to the use of AI in the genre. The findings show that AI technologies significantly improve creativity and production efficiency by automating routine tasks. However, the use of AI also poses risks related to the potential manipulation of content and the authenticity of the documentary genre. The paper concludes that filmmakers must carefully navigate the ethical challenges posed by AI, ensuring that the technology enhances the narrative without compromising the truthfulness and integrity of documentary storytelling.
