"The W.G.A. Deal: A Blueprint for Job Security Amidst A.I. Threats"
The recent deal between the Writers Guild of America (W.G.A.) and Hollywood studios regarding the use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) sets a precedent for labor relations in a digital future. The agreement establishes that A.I. can be a central subject of bargaining and that workers should have a say in its use. The W.G.A. negotiated for an equitable share of the performance gains if A.I. improves productivity or output quality. The deal ensures that A.I. can be utilized without replacing or impeding workers, benefiting both management and employees. This agreement can serve as a model for other workers and employers navigating the intersection of technology and labor negotiations.
