Writers and Hollywood Studios Nearing Deal Amidst AI Language Dispute

Negotiations to end the Hollywood writers' strike have made progress, but a major point of contention is the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Talks between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers ended without a deal, with language over AI being a sticking point. Writers are seeking a fair share of streaming revenue, increased royalties, and protection against potential job losses due to AI. Studio executives were absent from the recent talks, but bargaining is set to resume. The strike has disrupted television programs and delayed the fall season.
