Case chronology
NAFCA publishes its generative AI attitudes survey
NAFCA published its June survey: approximately one tenth of 3,854 respondents worked in animation. In the full sample, 73.7% supported comprehensive or in-principle regulation, compared with 57% in the worker subgroup. The report also records expectations of efficiency and concerns about training rights.
NAFCA publishes its opinion on intellectual property in the AI era
NAFCA published its response to a Cabinet Office consultation, advocating training opt-out rights and voice protection, distinguishing remuneration after consent from the right to refuse training, and proposing that digital archives first serve human learning and transmission of skills.
Research question
animation discussions already combined voices, economic interests, training control and skill transmission at an early stage. No linear progression from style to rights is assumed.
