Hollywood's Writers Strike Sparks Concerns Over AI's Role in Entertainment Industry
TL;DR
Actress and computer scientist Justine Bateman has urged actors to demand "iron-clad protection" against the use of their image and voice as artificial intelligence (AI) could disrupt the entertainment industry. Bateman said AI had to be addressed now or never, and that this was the last time any labour action would be effective in the business. The Writer's Guild of America (WGA) has proposed blocking the use of AI to write or rewrite literary material, but the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers rejected the proposal.
