AI Not a Threat to Films, Say Shaun the Sheep Creators
Aardman Animations, the Bristol-based studio behind Shaun the Sheep, says artificial intelligence does not pose a threat to filmmaking as it releases the third feature film in the franchise.
Aardman Animations, the Bristol-based studio known for its stop-motion animation work, has said that artificial intelligence is not a threat to the film industry, according to the BBC.
The comments come as the studio releases the third feature-length film in its long-running Shaun the Sheep franchise, the BBC reported.
Details of the new film and further remarks from the studio have not been disclosed beyond the initial report.
Aardman has produced stop-motion animated content for decades, with the Shaun the Sheep character first appearing as a spin-off from the studio's Wallace and Gromit series.
The BBC report did not provide additional context on how AI might be used within the animation or film industry, nor did it detail specific concerns that prompted the studio's comments.
