📣 WGA STATEMENT ON AI 📣

The WGA’s proposal to regulate use of material produced using artificial intelligence or similar technologies ensures the Companies can’t use AI to undermine writers’ working standards including compensation, residuals, separated rights and credits.

AI can’t be used as source material, to create MBA-covered writing or rewrite MBA-covered work, and AI-generated text cannot be considered in determining writing credits.

Our proposal is that writers may not be assigned AI-generated material to adapt, nor may AI software generate covered literary material.

In the same way that a studio may point to a Wikipedia article, or other research material, and ask the writer to refer to it, they can make the writer aware of AI-generated content.

But, like all research material, it has no role in the guild-covered work, nor in the chain of title in the intellectual property.

It is important to note that AI software does not create anything. It generates a regurgitation of what it's fed.

If it's been fed both copyright-protected and public domain content, it cannot distinguish between the two. Its output is not eligible for copyright protection, nor can an AI software program sign a certificate of authorship.

To the contrary, plagiarism is a feature of the AI process.

‘There's many many words I can use to describe what means to me but I'll sum it up with one: thankful! Streetlights changed my life, when I started the program I was -200 in my bank account and Streetlights opened the door for me to get into the industry. I pa'd for 2 years then I started to lean towards art department they guided and helped me get into and now in 2022 I'm in local 44 and also part of too! My next goal is too purchase my own equipment and start my fleet but none of this would've been possible without Streetlights! — 2017 grad
