The Big Decision of Hollywood screenwriters at future labor battles.
In one of the first important labor disputes regarding generative AI in the workplace, Hollywood screenwriters won strong safeguards against the use of artificial intelligence after a 148-day strike.
The employment of AI in script
creation resonated more than any other subject during the nearly five-month
protest. What was once a seemingly less important request of the Writers Guild
of America evolved into a call to arms for existence.
Additionally, the strike was over
writers room minimums and residuals in the streaming era, which isn't exactly
interesting picket-sign material. However, the prospect of AI vividly portrayed
the writers' predicament as a human-versus-machine conflict, with broad
ramifications for other businesses confronting a fundamentally different type
of automation.
WGA members will decide in the
upcoming weeks whether to approve a tentative agreement.
What most eyewitnesses settle on,
however, is that this was only the first of numerous computer based
intelligence work questions. Gunkel hopes to see the two journalists and
studios keep on exploring different avenues regarding man-made intelligence.
