AI is one of the most hotly debated topics in the industry today. I have used it, learned it, and implemented it into projects when clients request it. It is not going away. As this tool continues to evolve, artists without proper education risk being left behind. AI still carries significant ethical and ecological concerns that demand thoughtful legislation and accountability.
I salute the studios and artists who have sworn never to use it. I equally admire those who have integrated AI to strengthen their workflow and support their artists. Both stances come from a place of integrity.
What I hope for is a world better equipped to harness this technology responsibly, one where workflows are faster, creative control remains in the hands of artists, and the conversation continues to evolve with intention.
"...valuable and insightful exploration of the resurgence of Tactile Animation in the context of animation in the burgeoning AI era. A very urgent study of this fluid and topical debate. I would hope a 'message-in-a-bottle' for future generations of animation students to ruminate upon."

The Resurgence of Tactile Animation in the Face of AI By Victoria Pater (pdf)
DownloadAs someone working in a creative industry directly shaped by AI, I follow this conversation closely. I do not claim to be an expert, but I believe it must be properly governed and restricted. Here are some helpful links to stay up to date on the effects of AI and the legislation being passed to better our future alongside it.
