A global coalition of screenwriters’ organizations and unions, including the Writers Guild of America East and West, has collectively resolved to push for “robust licensing mechanisms” that require clear consent if scribes’ material is used to train AI tools.
The Federation of Screenwriters in Europe and International Affiliation of Writers Guilds is set to announce Thursday that they had passed a joint resolution on ethical use of AI. That resolution calls, in part, for member groups to pursue a goal in 2024 of ensuring “only intellectual property that has been licensed for such use be included in the datasets of commercialized LLMs, or any other present or future forms of AI.”
