Panel: AI and Blender - Adoption, Impact, and Ethics
AI tools an interactions with AI-driven interfaces (like chat bots) have touched nearly every aspect of modern society. Creative production with Blender is no exception to this. Not only are AI integrations happening with Blender add-ons, but regular artists are using AI to build custom scripts, assemble node networks, and modify their render outputs.
