The use of artificial intelligence has caused many studios and production companies to start using this tool in different projects, such as Netflix and his short film made in part by a IA. Another industry in which this feature has been discussed is anime, where various opinions have been expressed about it.
On this occasion, it has been George Wadacurrent president of Wit Studioresponsible for the first seasons of Shingeki no Kyojin and Spy X Familywho has taken the floor in favor of artificial intelligence. During the Anime Expo of this year, the prominent Japanese professional explained that these AIs would be of great help to speed up the work of animators.
“At Production IG and WIT we believe that we can collaborate with Artificial Intelligences to do our work. The industry is overloaded with work, so if you can provide us with some help so that we are not so overloaded, perhaps you can contribute to change the working environment for the better “.
As we can read in their statements, Wada’s opinion on AIs is not that radical. The producer does not seem to be too concerned about the arrival of this technology, but his position is somewhat contradictory. Many animators who do animation, coloring, character design, or background scenery have felt threatened since AIs came to light.
Wada is right to point out that the anime industry is overworked, but instead of choose to improve working conditions Of the workers who strive to give their best in fashionable anime, he prefers to seek solutions in Artificial Intelligence.
