The Writers Guild of America asked production studios to ban AI usage to write or rewrite literary material, source material and using guild-proudced material to train AI algorithms.
Artificial intelligence brings yet another industry into a hot debate over its usage as Hollywood and the greater media industry faces petitions from the Writers Guild of America .of demands which included the regulation of AI usage on the minimum basic agreement covered projects. It stated that AI should not be used to write or rewrite literary material nor be used as source material.
Additionally, it demanded that MBA-covered material can’t be used in training AI. In its initial statement back in March, the guild wrote: “The WGA’s proposal to regulate use of material produced using artificial intelligence or similar technologies ensures the Companies can’t use AI to undermine writers’ working standards including compensation, residuals, separated rights and credits.”
However, Hollywood studios officially rejected the demands and countered with an offer of “annual meetings to discuss advancements in technology.” This issue pertaining to AI usage was one of many, including compensation and working conditions, that pushed the WGA to go on an authorized strike in Los Angeles on May 2 for the first time in 15 years.
