Philippine censors said Wednesday they have allowed the upcoming Barbie film to be shown in cinemas, after asking its Hollywood distributor to blur a map allegedly showing China's claims to the disputed South China Sea.
They found that there were only eight dashes, not nine.
THE Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) said that one of the greatest concerns posed by artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic media is the possibility of displacing thousands of Filipino workers in the creative sectors due to the features provided by AI apps that can now produce photos, videos and music.
MTRCB says they conducted 'two review sessions, thorough deliberations, and consultations with relevant government agencies' before allowing the screening of 'Barbie'
Philippine censors said they were convinced the "cartoonish" map did not depict the nine-dash line.
