Summary
More than 11,000 film and television writers are on strike after failing to reach a contract resolution. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the entertainment industry is a contentious topic in contract discussions. Some see AI as a tool that will uplift content creators, while others believe it will have negative consequences. Streaming companies are facing financial challenges, and the Writers Guild of America is demanding fair labor conditions and compensation in relation to AI technology.
