So far I've only seen one brief push to do the dubbing itself with AI, and it was a disaster. As far as I know those dubs are lost media now; hopefully someone backed them up but I'm not seeing them.
It's possible they'll try to push AI for translating the dub, but I think that the AI would be really really bad at things like matching lip flaps so I think it'll be a while before we really see much AI interference with dubbing. I see a lot of accusations that companies like Crunchyroll are using AI to translate subs, but even then I'm skeptical. There was an incident where a specific show clearly was doing that, but according to Crunchyroll that was a breach of contract from the 3rd-party translators they hired. As much as I distrust Sony, I'm actually inclined to believe them here. Honestly I'm not even convinced AI would speed it up that much, and they're already not paying especially well, so hopefully there won't be too much pressure to use AI (even though lots of big companies are pushing it to a comical degree).
