Strikes in the USA
Some of the biggest news stories around AI and the creative industries at the start of the 2020s have been covering the labour disputes within Hollywood.
Both The Writer’s Guild of America and the Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television & Radio Artists both went on strike, with issues around the use of Generative AI technologies within the industry being important within the discussions.
After winning agreements for AI technologies to be used as tools within the industry, rather than replacing workers, the disputes have ended.
