The Impact of AI on Hollywood: An Anxious Future.

Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E have the potential to transform Hollywood by developing and writing scripts, diversifying casts with AI-generated actors, and generating imagery across multiple mediums for a fraction of the cost of human artists. However, concerns around credit and compensation for human creators and the potential infringement of intellectual property rights have arisen. Unions like the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA are seeking to protect their members' work and right to compensation, while the U.S. Copyright Office has declared that AI "assisted" works could be eligible for copyright protection.
