The use of artificial intelligence (AI)
The Hollywood Writers Guild announced the end of the force measure in a statement. “We can say, with great pride, that this agreement is exceptional, with significant benefits and protections for writers in all sectors of the membership,” said the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
