AI Agreement: Hollywood Leads Defense Against Job Automation 

 September 30, 2023

By  Joe Habscheid

Summary: A landmark agreement has been reached in Hollywood, protecting writers from the incursion of artificial intelligence (AI) in scriptwriting. The deal addresses growing concerns about the role of AI in various industries, setting a precedent by stipulating that AI cannot generate scripts or treatments. While it marks an end to a lengthy strike, questions about enforcement and actors’ rights in relation to AI-generated content persist. The implications of this historic deal extend to lawyers, doctors, and consultants in towns across Mid-Michigan, and far beyond.


The AI Contention

In an age where AI is swiftly seeping into various industries, fears surrounding it rewriting the fundamentals of professions are becoming more palpable. Lawyers, doctors, consultants, and notably, scriptwriters, find themselves grappling with this new reality. Could AI-generated material shape the future of their fields, or worse, replace their expertise?

A Pioneering Pact

Recently, a faction of Hollywood writers and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) signed a contract addressing these concerns head-on. The agreement safeguards screenplay authors from AI encroachment, with a clause expressly stating the prohibition of AI for generating scripts or treatments. In a move acknowledging the inevitable advancement of technology, it also grants writers the option to utilize AI for their work, if they so choose.

Beyond Hollywood

This development isn’t solely about Hollywood. The ripple effects of this deal touch upon cities and towns in Mid-Michigan, resonating with professionals across sectors. Doctors, lawyers, consultants, and others vested in their fields might find implications in their line of work. How will AI influence their practices? Could such an accord be a possible route for their professions?

Unresolved Matters

However, these are choppy waters. The contract ended a 148-day-long strike, but it opened a can of worms regarding its enforcement. How will compliance with the agreement be ensured? Furthermore, the actors’ rights concerning AI-generated content remain in a state of flux—another frontier yet to be addressed.

Looking Ahead

The Hollywood agreement casts a spotlight on AI’s pervasive spread, nudging professionals to ponder on its impact on their craft. As AI continues its stride into various sectors, the conversation surrounding it must evolve. This AI deal beckons professionals, not just in Hollywood but in fields far and wide, to weigh in on this critical dialogue.
