The Debate Over AI's Role in Hollywood Screenwriting
TL;DR Summary
The Writers Guild of America is demanding a greater say in how AI is used in Hollywood, as AI-generated scripts become a possibility. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers rejected the proposal, offering “annual meetings to discuss advancements in technology.” The proposal says that material generated by AI or similar technologies is not considered literary material or source material for the purposes of the contract. The fear is that AI could reduce the time it takes for writers to carry out their work by at least 50 percent, leading to a reduction in employment and pay.
