After nearly five months, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has ended their Strike with Hollywood studios. The new contract allows writers to resume work under certain conditions. The use of AI was a major concern during the strike, with worries that studios would exploit the technology to avoid paying union members. The WGA's contract now includes limitations on the use of AI in writers' rooms, banning its use for scriptwriting and ensuring AI-generated writing is not considered source material for writing credits. The agreement sets a precedent for establishing limitations on AI usage in creative professions.
