The union is arguing that tech companies 'looted the studios’ intellectual property' while Hollywood's major companies stood by.
The Writers Guild of America is forcefully calling on Hollywood’s major studios to take a stand on the purported use of their members’ works as AI training data.
“It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines,” the letter stated. “After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.” that reported that a data set that being used by Apple, Meta, Anthropic, Salesforce, Nvidia and others trained off of film and television writers’ work.
The studios, as copyright holders of works written by WGA members, have done nothing to stop this theft. They have allowed tech companies to plunder entire libraries without permission or compensation. The studios’ inaction has harmed WGA members.
