Live Roundtable

AI, the Industry, & Your Education

We hear the questions you're asking about AI and your future in CG. This isn't us embracing AI. Our mission hasn't changed: strong foundations, hands-on practice, and mentorship from industry pros. Join us for an open conversation about your education, creative authorship, and career prospects. Bring your questions. We'll answer them live.

The Questions You're Raising

Based on what you've been posting, the problems boil down to six things. These deserve proper time, so we'll take them on live.

Livelihood

“Will clients still pay me? Will junior jobs exist?”

Consent & fairness

“Was this capability developed using artists' work without their agreement?”

Agency

“Will I make creative decisions, or spend my day fixing generated output?”

Meaning

“I value the human experience expressed through the work.”

Recognition

“Will years of developed skill become harder to distinguish from generated output?”

Institutional trust

“Is the school I paid to teach me the craft now promoting its substitution, making my learning obsolete or weakening the perception of my effort?”

Where we stand

For 20 years, Think Tank has trained the world's best artists. That's the goal, and it always will be.

Think Tank is rooted in real artists sharing their hard work, craft, and passion with the next generation.

We're not introducing AI into our curriculum, and we're not replacing our industry mentors with chatbots.

Our commitment is to help you build strong fundamentals, judgment, and technical expertise to make work you're proud of. Skills you can rely on in any environment, with or without AI, and that hold up in CG, media, product, critical thinking, and beyond.

What We'll Cover

Your education: what you're learning, why it holds up, and what comes next
Artistic authorship: craft, credit, and who makes the creative decisions
Career prospects: clients, junior roles, and how studios are using new tools
Your questions, answered live. The floor is yours
