POSSIBLE USES OF AI TOOLS IN ANIMATION PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: The paper presents possible uses of tools generated by artificial intelligence (AI)from the point of view of socio-cultural animation – a concept based on agency, authenticityand autonomy, showing potential synergies between seemingly contradictory categories.Research Aim: The aim of the study is to show the role of AI tools in animation practice byanalysing their possible uses in animation projects at the key stages: pre-animation, actual ani-mation, effectiveness measurement.Evidence-based Facts: Rapid development of generative AI intensifies questions regarding theconstitution of agency understood not only as a manifestation of the ability to act, but also as anexpression of subjectivity and self-determination. These values constitute the foundation of so-cio-cultural animation, the aim of which is to strengthen human agency and autonomy. A con-stitutive feature of animation is humanistic methodology, which involves the use of individu-alized, non-directive methods taking into account personal and social contexts. This featureemphasizes the human-centred approach and human subjectivity, and at the same time, opensthe door to new technologies. AI tools can support the activities of participants in animationprocesses both in the organizational dimension (project management) and in the substantivedimension (generating content and ideas) at all stages of animation projects.Summary: AI tools provide support in the following areas of animation practice: searching ofvisual and audiovisual text sources, discovering needs and capabilities, organizing diagnosticand evaluation processes, project management, generating content and ideas supporting cre-ative processes.
