Hollywood Strike: Unresolved Issues Continue to Plague SAG-AFTRA Talks

TL;DR Summary
Negotiations between Hollywood studios and actors' union Sag-Aftra continue, with major issues such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) still unresolved. The studios issued their "best and final offer," but the union stated that there are still essential items on which they do not have an agreement. The strike, now in its 117th day, has caused delays in film releases and is estimated to have cost the California economy over $6.5 billion. Both studios and actors are eager to find a compromise, with earnings reports from Warner Bros Discovery and Disney due this week.
