The goal is to streamline visual effects and content creation processes using advanced AI technologies. However, this initiative faces resistance from union workers and creators who are concerned over potential job displacement, loss of artistic control, and copyright issues. These concerns come amid ongoing legal battles between Hollywood studios and companies utilizing AI in media production.
