Google.org Funds Training For 100,000 Artists

Google.org is investing $2 million in the Sundance Institute to train more than 100,000 artists in foundational AI skills, the organizations announced Tuesday. The funding creates an AI Literacy Alliance with The Gotham and Film Independent, supporting free online curricula, scholarships for Google courses, and an AI Creators Fellowship, while giving filmmakers early access to tools like Flow and Veo. The move arrives amid industry debate over consent and creative control.
