Writers Fights AI Use in Hollywood Scripts
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is advocating for limitations on the use of artificial intelligence in creating film and television scripts. Meanwhile, Hollywood studios, striving to make streaming services profitable amid dwindling ad revenues, appear less concerned and more open to technological advancements.

This disagreement over AI usage is one of the factors that led Hollywood's film and TV writers to go on strike, resulting in the first work stoppage in 15 years. The WGA aims to protect the creativity and originality of human writers while ensuring fair compensation for their work.
Writers are understandably concerned about their material feeding AI systems and having to fix AI-generated “sloppy first drafts.” They argue that relying on AI could lead to a decline in the quality of storytelling and diminish the unique human touch that shapes memorable narratives.
On the other hand, Hollywood studios are under pressure to produce content more efficiently and cost-effectively. They see AI as a potential tool to streamline the scriptwriting process and generate new ideas. The studios have proposed an annual discussion on the topic, asserting that they are open to addressing the writers' concerns.
