When asked about if they were using AI and if they were concerned about it, Register had this to say.

“As an animation studio, I just think it’s important we protect the artists and the art form as long as we can. Because I think we should give jobs to people who really do that and so they can get their entry-level experience.”

Artificial intelligence has only grown since its inception, with no telling when its rampant growth will slow down. However, Register seems keen to preserve the art form and protect the artists that create it.
