02 / Community focus
Many of the needs of Studios, Enterprises and Production Companies are often overlooked in the recent efforts of AI tools and platforms. This community will be a place where we discuss those needs, define common requirements, work with the platform and tool vendors to incorporate those elements in their product roadmaps.
Security & GuardrailsContent security, copyright, rights management, legal indemnification, provenance, and the terms under which professional work can safely use AI.
Global Teams & Hybrid SystemsMulti-user collaboration, production management, task tracking, client and vendor turnovers, and tools built for work that crosses organizational boundaries.
Flexibility & InteroperabilityFile formats, resolution, bit depth, hybrid local, cloud and multi-cloud infrastructure, archive preparation, and responsible training on libraries.
