Abstract(s)
Exploring whether AI is a threat or an opportunity for
the illustration industry, this study examines the
complex interplay between Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and the illustration industry. In order to provide a
multifaceted perspective on the role of AI in design
and illustration, the study is based on a mixed
research methodology that combines qualitative
and quantitative analysis. The study assessed
the multi-dimensional impact of AI on the industry
through extensive literature reviews, case studies,
expert interviews, social surveys
and personal experiments.
Both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI
are highlighted as key findings. On the positive side,
AI is enhancing creativity through new directions
and innovative ideas, and greatly improving the
efficiency of concept visualisation and automation
of routine tasks. These advances are seen as
potential catalysts for productivity growth and
cost reduction. However, the potential for job
losses and changes in skill requirements must be
considered. The survey also reveals concerns: 44%
of respondents fear possible negative consequences
of AI adoption, such as job losses and changing
skill requirements.
At the same time, the study highlights the serious legal
and ethical challenges associated with integrating
AI. Issues related to intellectual property, the
authorship of works created by AI, and the opaque
nature of the learning processes of AI come to the
fore. These findings are supported by interviews
with industry professionals, such as illustrator Ula,
who expresses concerns about workplace safety
and the erosion of creative authenticity thanks to AI,
and points to the need for strong policies focused
on ethics, intellectual property and transparency in
the development and use of AI.
With automation already affecting the structure of
the labour market, creating new jobs while others
become obsolete, the socio-economic implications
of integrating AI into the design and illustration
industry are enormous. Highlighting the complex
and unpredictable trajectory of these changes, the
research identifies the current trend of job substitution
in favour of AI in certain sectors.The conclusion underlines the need for well-designed,
dynamic policies that strike a balance
between the benefits of AI and the interests of the
professions and industry standards. Legislators are
encouraged to have an inclusive approach through
the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders,
including artists, designers, technology developers,
lawyers and policy makers. The aim is to enable
innovation and progress in the creative industries
without compromising ethical standards and the
value of human creativity, and to establish fair,
effective and adaptable policies that evolve
with AI technology.
