Google has teamed up with talent agency Range Media Partners to create a fund called 100 Zeros. The initiative is designed to support entertainment projects that depict technology, including AI, in a positive light, while also giving creators a chance to experiment with Google's AI tools.

The fund is described as rotating, suggesting it will back different projects or creators over time rather than a single long-term recipient. Google's head of entertainment content and platforms, Jonathan Zepp, and Range Media CEO Peter Micelli are leading the effort.

The partnership reflects a broader push by major tech companies to influence how AI and technology are portrayed in mainstream media, while simultaneously using entertainment projects as a testing ground for emerging AI production tools.
