谷歌携手圣丹斯研究所共筑AI电影创作社区化未来

电影制作的未来正由一种新型创意伙伴关系定义：艺术家们尝试运用人工智能（AI）进行迭代创作，将宏大的想象变为现实。过去一年，谷歌与电影制作人紧密合作，探索利用生成式AI推进艺术创作的方法。行业同时传递出明确信号：AI要真正赋能创作，必须由社区主导并辅以普惠教育。目前，多数影视公司对AI技术迭代速度感到难以应对，仅25%的机构正在投资相关培训。

为此，谷歌慈善机构Google.org宣布向圣丹斯研究所提供200万美元资金，用于构建社区驱动的AI教育赋能生态。该资助将帮助超过10万名艺术家掌握AI基础技能，弥合技术鸿沟，推动AI学习资源向电影制作人开放。此项投入隶属于Google.org“AI机遇基金”，该基金通过资助各关键领域的顶尖劳动力开发与教育组织，助力公众掌握核心AI技能。

构建可信的AI电影教育生态
谷歌此次资助将支持圣丹斯研究所聚焦以下方向建设社区化生态：

• 打造未来叙事中心：圣丹斯研究所将与哥谭电影媒体学院、独立电影协会共同发起“AI素养联盟”，通过培训支持与价值观建设，保护人类创造力及艺术产业生态。
• 推动创意落地：研究所与合作伙伴将开发免费在线课程，联通艺术创意与技术实践，并为谷歌《AI基础课程》等提供奖学金支持。
• 建立行业标准：研究所将推出“AI创作者奖学金”鼓励技术实验，并通过行业对话形成共享案例、报告及产业标准。

年度协作创新实践
过去一年间，谷歌邀请电影制作人参与实验室合作，基于电影工艺的实践标准共同开发工具、优化生成模型。今日的资助宣告是谷歌“协作优先”理念的自然延伸，其基础包括近期多项实践：

• 创意工具Flow：谷歌向叙事创作者开放AI电影制作工具Flow的早期测试，根据反馈优化界面，使其成为艺术家探索电影构想的实验平台。通过“Flow创作计划”，谷歌持续为创作者提供导师指导、AI教育及工具支持，助力各类短片创作。
• 《AI银幕》短片计划：与Range Media Partners合作推出非AI制作的AI主题短片项目。首部作品《甜水》探讨了数字化保存至爱记忆的深刻议题。
• 电影《祖先》合作：与达伦·阿伦诺夫斯基的Primordial Soup团队合作，推动生成模型突破实际制作瓶颈。为实现导演伊丽莎·麦克尼特的构想，技术团队开发出个性化角色视频一致性、运动匹配复刻复杂3D摄像机轨迹等先进功能。

当前，独立电影制作人正处于时代变革的核心。工具本身并无价值，人类的想象力才是赋予其意义的灵魂。行业目标已从掌握新工具，转向释放AI为独特艺术愿景带来的创作潜能。通过持续协作与社区化教育投入，谷歌致力于确保电影的未来始终牢牢握在叙事创作者手中。

（据悉，谷歌团队已抵达帕克城，将在圣丹斯电影节期间举办Flow工具深度研讨会，并于圣丹斯故事论坛展示合作短片《亲爱的楼上邻居》。该片运用定制化Google DeepMind模型，将手绘艺术转化为“鲜活画作”，同时保持创作者全程艺术掌控。）

携手圣丹斯协会，共创社区引领的AI电影未来

电影制作的未来正由一种新型创意伙伴关系定义：艺术家们尝试运用人工智能，反复打磨，将雄心勃勃的想象变为现实。

过去一年，谷歌与电影制作人并肩探索如何通过生成式人工智能推进和提升艺术创作流程。但我们亦听到清晰的声音：要让AI真正赋能创作，必须由社区主导发展，并辅以普惠的教育支持。当前，大多数媒体公司对AI变革的速度感到无所适从，仅有25%的媒体公司正在投资相关培训。

为此，谷歌慈善基金会将向圣丹斯协会提供200万美元资金，构建一个由社区主导的AI教育与赋能生态系统。这笔资金将通过为超过10万名艺术家提供基础AI技能培训，弥合AI技能鸿沟，让电影制作人平等获得AI学习机会。该举措隶属于谷歌慈善基金会"AI机遇基金"项目，旨在通过资助社会关键领域的一流劳动力发展与教育机构，帮助美国民众掌握核心AI技能。

构建值得信赖的AI电影教育生态系统

通过支持圣丹斯协会的AI培训计划，谷歌慈善基金会正在推动建立聚焦以下方向的社区主导型生态系统：

• 打造未来叙事中心：圣丹斯协会将与哥谭媒体与电影独立协会合作启动"AI素养联盟"计划。该计划将通过培训支持，助力艺术社群建立保护人类创造力、艺术家及整个创意产业的价值伦理体系。

• 将宏大构想转化为技术能力：圣丹斯协会与联盟伙伴将开发免费在线课程，弥合创作探索与有效技术应用之间的鸿沟，其中包括提供《AI基础精要》等谷歌课程的奖学金名额。

• 推进艺术家学习与标准制定：圣丹斯协会将推出"AI创作者奖学金"支持技术实验，并举办社群对话以形成共享案例研究、报告及行业主导标准。

持续一年的协同创新

过去一年，我们邀请电影制作人进驻实验室，依据电影工艺的实践标准与严苛要求，共同开发新工具并完善生成模型的技术规范。今日谷歌慈善基金的公告，正是我们"协作优先"理念的自然演进，近期系列举措包括：

• Flow工具：与创作者共建，为创作者而生：我们让叙事者提前体验AI电影制作工具Flow。他们的实践反馈帮助我们塑造出如今这个供艺术家探索电影创意并持续迭代的操作界面。通过"Flow创作营"项目，我们持续与创意团队紧密合作——在他们创作各类短片的过程中，提供专业指导、AI教育及工具的无限制使用权。

• 银幕上的AI：我们与Range Media Partners联合发起短片计划，通过创作关于AI（而非AI制作）的影片，探讨人类与技术关系的演变。该计划首部作品《甜水》深刻审视了数字化保存至爱记忆的动人命题。

• 原始创想：我们与达伦·阿伦诺夫斯基的"原始创想"工作室合作电影《先祖》期间，推动生成模型攻克实际制作难题。为实现导演伊莱扎·麦克尼特的构想，我们开发出个性化视频角色一致性保持、运动匹配复现复杂三维摄影路径等先进功能。

当今独立电影制作人正处于这场根本性变革的核心。但工具本身并无价值，是人类想象力赋予其意义。目标已不仅是掌握新工具，更要释放AI为独特艺术视野开启的创作潜能。通过持续的合作与对社区主导教育的投入，我们致力于确保电影的未来始终牢牢掌握在叙事者手中。

我们即将前往帕克城。若您亲临现场，欢迎参与我们的Flow深度解析专场，或莅临圣丹斯协会故事论坛预览《亲爱的楼上邻居》——该作品将展示定制化的Google DeepMind模型如何帮助艺术家将手绘艺术转化为"活态画作"，同时保持完整的创作主导权。

Building a community-led future for AI in film with Sundance Institute
The future of filmmaking is being defined by a new kind of creative partnership: artists experimenting with AI, iterating, and bringing ambitious visions to life.
For the past year, Google has worked side-by-side with filmmakers to explore ways to advance and enhance artistic processes with generative AI. But we’ve also heard a clear message: for AI to truly empower, it must be community-driven leadership and supported by accessible education. Currently, the majority of media companies feel overwhelmed by the pace of AI change and only 25% of media companies are currently investing in training.
To help, Google.org is providing $2 million in funding to the Sundance Institute to build a community-led ecosystem for AI education and empowerment. The funding will help bridge the AI skills gap by training over 100,000 artists in foundational AI skills and democratize access to AI learning for filmmakers. This effort is a part of Google.org’s AI Opportunity Fund, an initiative that helps Americans develop essential AI skills by funding best-in-class workforce development and education organizations across critical segments of society.
A trusted ecosystem for AI filmmaking education
By supporting Sundance Institute's AI training efforts, Google.org is enabling a community-led ecosystem that focuses on:

• Building the storytelling hubs of the future: Sundance Institute will establish an AI Literacy Alliance initiative in collaboration with The Gotham and Film Independent. This initiative will empower artist communities by providing training and support of the establishment of values and ethics that protect human creativity, artists and the creative industry at-large.
• Turning big ideas into technical skills: Sundance Institute and alliance partners will develop a free online curriculum to help bridge the gap between creative curiosity and effective technical use. This will include scholarships for Google courses like AI Essentials.
• Advancing artist learning and developing standards: Sundance Institute will launch an AI Creators Fellowship for technical experimentation and host community conversations to develop shared case studies, reports and industry-led standards.
  A year of collaborative innovation
  For the past year, we’ve invited filmmakers to our labs to co-create new tools and inform the technical requirements of our generative models based on the practical, rigorous standards of the filmmaking craft. Today’s announcement from Google.org is the natural evolution of our "collaboration-first" approach, building on recent initiatives such as:
• Flow: Built with creatives, for creatives: We gave storytellers early access to Flow, our AI filmmaking tool. Their hands-on feedback helped us shape an interface that, today, serves as a place where artists can explore and iterate on cinematic ideas. Through our program Flow Sessions, we continue to work closely with a group of creatives — providing them with mentorship, AI education and unlimited access to the tool as they work to create short films of all types.
• AI on Screen: In partnership with Range Media Partners, we launched this short film program to explore our evolving relationship with technology through the creation of films about AI, not made with AI. The program’s first film, Sweetwater, examines the poignant concept of digitally preserving a loved one’s memory.
• Primordial Soup: Our partnership with Darren Aronofsky’s Primordial Soup on the film Ancestra forced our generative models to solve real-world production hurdles. To meet director Eliza McNitt’s vision, we developed advanced capabilities like personalized video for character consistency and motion matching to replicate complex 3D camera paths.
  Today’s independent filmmakers are at the center of a foundational shift. But tools do nothing on their own; it is human imagination that gives them purpose. The goal is no longer just to learn a new tool, but to realize the creative potential that AI unlocks for their specific vision. Across our ongoing collaborations and investment in community-led education, we are committed to ensuring that the future of film remains firmly in the hands of the storytellers.
  We’re now heading to Park City, if you’re attending, come check out our deep dive session into Flow or the Sundance Institute Story Forum where we’ll preview “Dear Upstairs Neighbors,” demonstrating how custom Google DeepMind models help artists transform hand-crafted art into "living paintings" while maintaining total creative control.
