AI’s impact on Hollywood amidst the “Barbenheimer” epic frenzy

AI takes center stage in Hollywood union strike

The impact of AI on the entertainment industry has become a genuine concern in Hollywood. It has sparked a significant dispute between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. While various issues are at the center of the strike, the use of AI in creative processes has taken center stage.

Actors and writers are deeply concerned that AI might eventually replace real talent in the production process. There are even propositions from certain studios suggesting the possibility of scanning and owning the likeness of extras using AI technology. This development has raised serious questions about the future of human creativity and the essence of genuine artistic expression in the entertainment world.
