The guild, which is currently at the table with studios and streamers over this issue and others, said on Wednesday that artificial intelligence 'has no role in guild-covered work, nor in the chain of title in the intellectual property.'
While the union is at the negotiating table with studios and streamers hammering out the industry’s approach to this evolving technology, the Writers Guild has clarified its stance on works created with the help of artificial intelligence.
The guild stated that it is seeking in these talks to ban AI from being used as source material and AI-written works and AI-rewritten works from being covered under its contract; the union also wants to preclude AI-created writing from being considered for credits. The guild additionally seeks to prohibit writers from being assigned “AI-generated material to adapt” and is also looking to prohibit “AI software generat[ing] covered literary material.
