Summary
The labor deal between the Writers Guild of America and Hollywood studios is seen as a win for writers, but there are concerns about the use of AI and its potential impact on the industry. Questions remain about copyright law, detection of AI usage, and how studios will behave. AI is also a major sticking point in ongoing actors' strike. The agreement establishes some guardrails for AI usage but leaves room for studios to train AI using preexisting material. There are concerns about misappropriation of source material and the potential for AI-generated content to infringe on copyright. While advancements are being made in content verification and AI detection technology, there are doubts about whether it will be enough to contain the risks of AI.
