CultureWildwood director says AI is ‘antithetical to everything’ at Laika

Laika CEO and Wildwood director Travis Knight says generative AI conflicts with the studio’s approach. He argues that technology has meaning when artists use it, while AI doing an artist’s work lacks humanity and amounts to theft. He says human stories must come from people who have lived those experiences.
