Screenwriters Say Studios’ Offer on AI Doesn’t Go Far Enough

The Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike with major Hollywood studios since May 2, said the latest offer from the media companies doesn’t go far enough on issues such as the use of artificial intelligence and access to viewer data on streaming services.

In a note to members on Thursday, the guild said that while the studios have made some concessions on artificial intelligence, they refuse to craft rules regarding how the writers’ work could be used to teach AI programs to write scripts.
