The Future of Animated Films: A.I. to Replace 90% of Artists

Jeffrey Katzenberg predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace 90% of animation artists in the future, stating that the impact of AI on the media and entertainment industry will be significant. He believes that AI will be a disruptive and commoditized tool, comparable to a new paintbrush or camera, with immense opportunities. While individual creativity will still be necessary to prompt AI, Katzenberg anticipates a significant reduction in the number of artists required for animated films in the coming years.
