Adobe execs say artists need to embrace AI or get left behind


“People will either agree with that conviction or they won’.”

Adobe is in a difficult position — while many of its customers, particularly businesses and large creative teams, are hungry for AI features that can increase productivity, many artists openly detest the technology and fear how it will impact their livelihoods. For example, when a “shot-for-shot” remake of the Princess Mononoke movie trailer made with Kling recently went viral, it was briefly taken offline by its creator following intense backlash from fans of the original Hayao Miyazaki classic who felt the video was disrespectful or outright ugly. Adobe says it aims to implement AI in a way that gives artists more time to focus on actually being creative rather than replacing them entirely, such as making tools more efficient and removing tedious tasks like resizing or masking objects.
