The AI project of Netflix known as Go-with-the-Flow seeks to transform animation production as it creates discussion about creative invention alongside copyright issues and product market effects.

Marking the top anime streaming revenue at 2023 by reaching the number one spot Netflix launches its new AI project titled Go-with-the-Flow. The AI tool built through collaboration with universities seeks to transform movie production together with the animation industry. The AI tool cooperated between major universities to achieve its purpose of transforming both filmmaking and animation production.

Through Go-with-the-Flow users have the ability to operate cameras automatically and conduct both motion pattern transfers and produce genuine anime-style animations from sparse input sources. The efficiency of animation production improves when some applications operate without needing base images.

Public controversy surrounding AI use within animation production has recently started to grow. X user @ednewtonrex expressed doubts about whether copyrighted video content was present for model training. There are no details about the video sources documented in the research paper although it mentions the model received 4 million video datasets for tuning.

The Chief Producer at Netflix Anime Taiki Sakurai stands in favor of generative AI systems because they help decrease project costs and shorten production time so salaries can increase. The scarcity of Japan’s traditional craftsmanship presents an unsustainable situation for the country according to this expert who argues that animation processes could be greatly streamlined with AI-based technology.

Customers criticize the payment methods utilized by Netflix during its expansion effort. An unnamed “global distributor” has been accused by the Association of Japanese Animations of offering flat payment deals with no royalties according to the Association. Netflix defended its strategy by pointing out that most of its partners preferred this business framework.

As artificial intelligence transforms animation industries Go-with-the-Flow emerges as a potential milestone that may enhance or degrade anime creation procedures.
