AI education helps creators stay in control, not fall behind.

Google.org is committing $2 million to the Sundance Institute to educate over 100,000 artists in essential AI skills as part of the newly formed AI Literacy Alliance. According to NS3.AI, this initiative seeks to establish AI as a fundamental creative skill for independent filmmakers amid ongoing debates in the entertainment industry regarding AI consent, misuse, and creative control. At the same time, actors and creators are advocating for enforceable regulations to manage AI usage, highlighting the intricate balance between AI advancement and the protection of intellectual property.
