Emmy Award recognises the foundational technology behind BRAHMA AI’s high-fidelity AI content platform

LONDON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BRAHMA AI has been named a recipient of a 2026 Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award for AI-Based Face Replacement and Performance-Preserving Post-Production Transformation. The award recognises BRAHMA AI’s Neural Performance technology.

The award honours systems that change a performer’s appearance while preserving natural expression, movement, lighting and scene realism, maintaining continuity across a sequence and adapting to changes in pose, lighting and occlusion.

BRAHMA AI is recognised alongside Disney Research, Rising Sun Pictures and Digital Domain, and is the only AI-native company among the four recipients.

“This Emmy® recognises technology that has been proven where the bar is highest: feature films, television and live production, in front of performers, directors and global audiences,” said Jo Plaete, Chief Technology Officer of BRAHMA AI. “Human creativity amplified by AI, with the performer and the authenticity of the performance kept at the centre, is the foundation of everything we build at BRAHMA AI. Being recognised at this level confirms that approach is dependable enough for the most demanding work in the industry.”

Human facial performance is one of the hardest problems in generative media. Small losses in timing, gaze or expression change the performance. BRAHMA AI’s Neural Performance technology was built to hold those qualities fixed while enabling controlled changes of age, likeness and identity.

The technology was proven at feature-film scale on Robert Zemeckis’s Here. Younger versions of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright were visualised on set in near real time, and the system delivered approximately one hour of final 4K transformation for the finished film. It has since been used across feature films, television, live performance and multilingual content, most recently on Ramayana, where BRAHMA AI’s technology delivers performance-preserving English-language lip-sync for the film’s international release.

The core methods are protected by US Patent No. 12,322,018, ‘Latent Space Editing and Neural Animation to Generate Hyperreal Synthetic Faces.’ The same research now underpins ATMAN, BRAHMA AI’s digital-human technology, and the wider BRAHMA AI platform for creating, localising and governing enterprise audiovisual content.

The 2026 Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards are presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and will be held on 14 October 2026 at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, California, in a joint ceremony with the Television Academy’s Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy® Awards. The official recipients are listed at televisionacademy.com.

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, today announced a strategic investment in KAVIA AI, a Silicon Valley-based enterprise AI platform company. The investment strengthens the collaboration between the two companies to help enterprises manage, modernise, and transform complex software environments at scale.

As a global leader in AI and GenAI-driven product and software engineering, Tata Elxsi enables enterprises to implement the AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC), accelerating architecture design, brownfield refactoring, software development, quality assurance, deployment, continuous monitoring and debugging across the product and software lifecycle.

The collaboration brings together Tata Elxsi’s expertise in domain-led engineering with KAVIA AI’s knowledge graph and workflow intelligence platform. Over the past one year, the companies have worked together to deploy the platform for enterprise engineering use cases, addressing challenges around industry-specific product and software engineering, accelerated release cycles, quality, resilience, and cybersecurity readiness.

Manoj Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tata Elxsi, said, “Through STEP.UP, Tata Elxsi’s startup engagement program for high-potential deep tech companies, we have worked closely with KAVIA AI and seen the strength of its technology firsthand. This investment reflects our shared vision for AI-driven software engineering.”

Across industries, distributed teams have been creating millions of lines of code over the years using multiple repositories and diverse technology stacks to evolve enterprise products and platforms. As organisations face this complex brownfield environment, critical knowledge often remains fragmented across code, documentation, systems, tools, and teams.

While most AI tools focus on accelerating coding, KAVIA AI enables enterprises to scale across the AIDLC by combining persistent knowledge, governed engineering artifacts, collaboration, traceability, and deployment through a single platform.

Labeeb Ismail, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, KAVIA AI, said, “We are delighted with this strategic investment by Tata Elxsi and the trust it has placed in us. KAVIA AI brings system assets for enterprises to establish AIDLC workflows, operating models, and the checks and balances needed to operationalise AI across the software lifecycle. Together with Tata Elxsi, we look forward to shaping the future of software delivery.”

Building on this foundation, Tata Elxsi and KAVIA AI are working together to harness the power of AI responsibly and help organisations transform their products and services.

VENICE, Italy, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tamar AI, the Palo Alto-based AI-powered creative technology company behind TapNow, the world’s first AI-native Creative OS, today announced the launch of Glanze at the 83rd Venice Film Festival. As a streaming platform for original AI-native series, films, and explorable worlds, Glanze extends the TapNow ecosystem, creating a single connected path from creation to global audience.

Powered by TapNow and fed by its global IP incubation initiative 10,000 Parallel Universes, Glanze is a streaming platform built to redefine how stories are discovered, turning the exploration of original works into part of the entertainment experience. With Glanze now live, locally rooted AI-native series and films are brought to global audiences without the limits of traditional streaming platforms. Glanze opens with 40 titles available for preview, enabling creativity to travel without boundaries.

“Debuting Glanze at Venice, one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals and where the future of cinema is first seen, marks our ambition to establish AI as a creative and meaningful force in the global film industry. Glanze is not just a streaming platform but an integral part of the TapNow ecosystem, rooted in our belief that AI exists to amplify creation from idea to distribution,” said Klaus He, Co-founder of Tamar AI.

The Glanze launch was accompanied by a panel co-hosted by TapNow during the Venice Film Festival’s Venice Production Bridge on September 4.
