The Writer’s Guild of America may let Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT be used in scriptwriting. Get the details:
The Writer’s Guild of America may let Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT be used in scriptwriting as long as writers still get full credit for the resulting script. The WGA made the proposal this Monday, March 20, during a negotiation round with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY One recent concern from writers in film and television is the emergence of AI tools capable of creating stories on their own. While AI technology is still limited and cannot develop anything more complex than rough drafts, these tools will only get better over time, which could give executives the power to get rid of human writers entirely. As expected, the WGA brought this concern to their meeting with the AMPTP.
According to the WGA proposal, AI-generated scripts couldn’t be considered “source material” or “literary material.” These are fundamental terms in any WGA agreement, as “literary material” encompasses anything a writer produces, including stories, treatments, screenplays, and dialogue. Likewise, “source material” refers to previously existing material, such as books and magazines, that can be adapted into screenplays.
