International Animation Unions Plan Protest Against AI at Annecy Festival: ‘Generative Al Do Not Support Artists, It Destroys Them’
Global animation unions are planning a protest against AI at Annecy, citing job loss and environmental impact, as they call for regulations.
Last week, labor groups from the U.S., France, Spain, Ireland, Belgium and elsewhere released a lengthy joint statement (available below) demanding action regarding the rise in use of AI in the field of animation. The group of organizations has invited workers, students, and anyone who shares its concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in animation to meet for a public town hall this afternoon near the festival’s Bonlieu central hub. We invite all workers, students and allies to join us in Annecy festival, to discuss concerns and defense against GenAl, and to hear unions representatives read the statement on Thursday, June 12th, at 2 PM, on the Paquier.
