The tools are not the surprise. What sits next to them is.
The legacy stack is still there: Blender, Unreal, After Effects, Nuke.
The AI stack sits in the same list: ComfyUI, LoRA, ControlNet, Veo, Nano Banana.
Governance is written into the role: IP usage, Approvals, Disclosures, Policy compliance, Incident handling. A tech art JD carrying compliance weight.
FYI. This one is brand and campaign content for XO AI Labs, not game production
The merge people keep predicting is not coming. It is in a live JD at a major publisher.
If you are figuring out what to learn next, read this JD as a map.

PS: AI tools or governance, which one surprised you more?
