NEW YORK, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AB International Group Corp.

The Core Value of AI IP
ufilm AI is an intellectual property focused on AI-driven series creation, enabling users to produce serialized content (1-50 episodes, each 1-35 minutes long) directly from their smartphones. The technology automates storyboard generation, ad insertion, and editing recommendations. As a super agent, ufilm AI specializes in the creation and distribution of TV series and films: it doesn’t just think, it delivers results, excelling at various tasks and completing the creation based on users’ ideas while users rest. ufilm AI IP aims to replace fragmented short-form videos, meeting the end-consumer market’s demand (i.e., the market directly targeting individual users) for high-quality, narrative-driven content. ufilm AI has been licensed to AI+ Hubs’s first client, Uflix.ai, as an application case in the end-consumer market.

The Commercial Potential of IP Licensing

As a super agent, ufilm AI IP offers a unique zero-cost creation advantage (AI-driven storyboarding, ad insertion, and editing), enabling platforms to enter the market swiftly while minimizing R&D costs (VentureBeat’s 2023 report estimates the average cost of developing an enterprise-grade AI model at $5 million). Based on market estimates, each licensed platform is expected to generate annual revenue of $280 million, with a 10% royalty fee (industry standard), resulting in $28 million per platform annually. AI+ Hubs plans to license the IP to 2 platforms in upcoming years (including Uflix.ai), generating $56 million; The cumulative licensing revenue over three years is projected to reach $476 million, demonstrating the long-term potential of the IP licensing business.

Future Outlook for AI+ Hubs Corp
Chiyuan Deng, the CEO of AI+ Hubs Corp stated: “The acquisition of ufilm AI IP is a pivotal milestone for AI+ Hubs.

With the series market projected to reach $215 billion by 2029 (Statista) and the film market expected to grow to $202.9 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research), we are confident that ufilm AI, as an agent, will deliver significant returns for investors while empowering the global end-consumer market to engage in AI-driven content creation.”
