Part 3/7:
As studios like Tolli plan to employ AI for tasks including storyboard creation, coloring, and generating backgrounds, many within the animation community fear for their job security. Historically, advancements in technology have always led to job displacement, and while AI might streamline processes, the question remains: how many skilled jobs will be lost in the transition?
There is, however, an argument to be made that the adoption of AI could alleviate the burdens of animators. Many professionals in the industry currently face grueling hours, often leading to poor mental and physical health. By using AI to handle tedious tasks, animation studios might allow artists to focus on more creative aspects of their work, ultimately fostering better working conditions.
