The UK creative community has therefore called on the Government to establish an "opt-in" mechanism whereby AI companies would be required to obtain and pay for a license before using their work. The Government is currently evaluating relevant legislation.
Richie Coupland, Director of Research and Innovation at BFI, said, "AI does help improve production efficiency, lower the creative threshold, and give more people a voice. But it could also disrupt existing business models, displace professionals, and even erode audience trust in film and television."
The report also recognizes some of the benefits of AI technology, such as "rejuvenating" actors or simulating accents. However, the ability of AI to handle writing, translation, and some special effects and animation tasks has left many professionals feeling that their jobs are in jeopardy. "AI can automate a large number of tasks, especially at the entry level. To adapt to this change, practitioners urgently need to upgrade their skills."
1AI has learned from the report that the current UK film and television industrySignificant lag in AI training.. For a large number of freelancers in particular, the lack of learning resources is a huge obstacle.
