🧠 Industry Insights

What does AI mean for the kid space?

  • This article explores how AI tools creating distorted versions of childhood stories and culture, like AI-generated versions of Heidi and Dr. Seuss’s books, are sparking anxiety about AI's threat to childhood innocence.

  • It situates current AI fears in the context of longstanding moral panics about dangers from new technologies like TVs and smartphones that children interact with.

  • While cautioning against overreacting, it says legitimate concerns about AI include misinformation, replicating biases, climate impacts, and privacy, arguing children's rights should be part of AI policymaking.

🎥 Creator Highlight: The Safe Zone

The Safe Zone is a groundbreaking short film written and directed entirely by AI. Released in December 2022, it was spearheaded by former Big Brother contestant Richard Juan soon after the launch of ChatGPT. Juan utilized the conversational AI to generate the script, storyboards, shot lists, and even lighting and wardrobe directions. While the cinematography is striking thanks to following ChatGPT's detailed instructions, the dialog comes across somewhat stilted and unnatural.

Nonetheless, The Safe Zone represents an astonishingly early experiment in AI-generated filmmaking. Juan and his crew leaned heavily on ChatGPT and DALL-E to birth this project just weeks after the AI launched, beating the entertainment industry to the punch.
