The WGA wants safeguards to prevent studios from using AI to generate new scripts from writers' previous work. "The way that it's looking now is that there won't be a middle class in Hollywood," said Caroline Renard, a Guild liaison and writer whose credits include the Disney Channel's Secrets of Sulphur Springs.Īrtificial intelligence is another issue at the bargaining table.
Median pay for scribes at the higher writer/producer level has fallen four per cent over the last decade. Half of TV series writers now work at minimum salary levels, compared with one-third in the 2013-14 season, according to Guild statistics. They are seeking pay increases and changes to industry practices they say force them to work more for less money. Writers say they have suffered financially during the streaming TV boom, in part due to shorter seasons and smaller residual payments. A strike would be the first by the WGA in 15 years. The Writers Guild of America could call a work stoppage as early as Tuesday if it cannot reach a deal with companies such as Walt Disney Co and Netflix Inc.
