This was a really important and interesting animation about A.I. in animation – the use, state, and ethics of utilizing it specifically.
As we all know, A.I. is here to stay. The big question is if A.I. animation is even good, and how it can help or hinder animation workflows.
My biggest takeaway from the presentation is that I need to better understand A.I. as a tool in order to utilize it efficiently without damaging careers or the environment.
Of the films presented, I really loved watching “The Making of the Zizi Show” since it was using A.I. with intent to disrupt patriarchal and cis-normative systems of representations. I do believe A.I. can be used for good when it is not in the hands of corporate tech bros. I just have to be an active participant who understands how it works, and to go from there.
