AI in Hollywood: The Fight for Our Existence

Hollywood actors and writers are currently engaged in a double strike, protesting against the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) technology replacing jobs in the entertainment industry. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are fighting to protect all workers in the industry, from extras to stars, from being replaced by AI. Concerns include deepfake technology, consent issues, and the potential loss of creativity in the industry. The battle over labor and AI is being fought in Hollywood due to the fundamental human nature of creativity and the public empathy towards disrupted workers.
