Andrew Schlussel Talks AI and Animation

In his new Ted Talk DNEG Animation's Andrew Schlussel explains why, even though AI can now automate many jobs - such as concept art - we should not fear it.  Andrew explains how changes in animation and vfx technology over the years have increased the size of the industry - not shrunk it.  He suggests that AI will be no different, and that the "net sum" of jobs in the Creative Industries will continue to increase, even though certain processes can now be done by machine learning.  What should we do with AI instead? - embrace it, and use it.
