The Complex Relationship Between Writers and AI in Entertainment Industry.
TL;DR
The Writers Guild of America West has developed a framework of regulations for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in screenwriting, which seeks to protect writers from economic harm while allowing them the freedom to use AI if they want to. The proposals include preventing studios from having AI programs create scripts independently or rewrite scripts submitted by a human writer, and barring a studio's AI program from training on WGA members' work. The guild's position is that AI-generated material cannot be used as source material or literary material on any project covered by the Basic Agreement.
