In this urgent episode, research exposes the data behind the AI takeover that’s set to wipe out 204,000 entertainment jobs by 2026, and what it means for actors, writers, directors, producers, and crew members across the industry.


🎯 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Which film jobs are disappearing first — from junior VFX roles to multilingual voice actors

  • The rise of AI tools like TrueSync, generative art, and soundscape automation

  • How studios like Netflix and DreamWorks are slashing headcounts with AI workflows

  • The four creative roles most at risk — and the three new roles replacing them

  • How AI threatens the entry-level ladder for emerging talent

  • Real quotes from animators and artists losing their creative identity to machines

  • Why SAG-AFTRA and WGA are fighting back — and what protections they’re demanding

  • The emerging skills gap: why retraining matters more than ever

  • The paradox of AI: a threat to jobs, but also a tool to democratize filmmaking

💡 This isn’t just about job loss. It’s about the soul of cinema.
