United States: Automating Entertainment: Writers Demand That Studios Not Use AI

When the Writers Guild of America (WGA) came with their list of demands in the strike that has already grinded production on many shows to a halt, chief among them was that the studios agree not to use artificial intelligence to write scripts. Specifically, the Guild had two asks: First, they said that "literary material," including screenplays and outlines, must be generated by a person and not an AI; Second, they insisted that "source material" not be AI-generated.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers(AMPTP), which represents the studios, rejected this proposal. They countered that they would be open […]

Workers Are Terrified About AI. What Can They Do About It?

Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast Times were tough in early-19th century England. The Napoleonic Wars had decimated the country’s economy. To save costs, wealthy textile factory owners replaced skilled artisans with automated machinery to create their goods. The workers fought back—literally—by raiding the factories and destroying the machines in these mills in what became known as the Luddite movement, named after the apocryphal leader of the raids.

Today, Luddite is synonymous with people who reject new technology—but we’ve seen the same struggles and frustrations with employers echoed throughout history, from Henry Ford’s assembly line, to mass food production, to […]

Studies Suggest That Rather Than Killing Jobs, AI Could Revive The Middle Class

from the unexpected-optimism dept

We’ve certainly been talking a lot about the “ AI Doomers ” who insist that AI is all too likely to destroy humanity. However, even people who aren’t fully on board with the existential threat of AI do often say that, at the very least, it’s going to destroy jobs for most people, potentially creating huge problems. For years now, people have been arguing for universal basic income , in large part, because they think that automation and AI will take away everyone’s jobs. I mean, it was a core plank of Andrew Yang’s silly […]

Artificial Intelligence — the greatest disruptor ever?

Artificial Intelligence — the greatest disruptor ever?

To rephrase Leon Trotsky: You may not be interested in artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence is interested in you.

Suddenly, long-rumored and awaited, AI is upon the world – a world that isn’t ready for the massive and forever disruption it threatens. AI could be the most significant disruptor in history, surpassing the arrival of the printing press, the steam engine and electricity. Those all led to good things.

At this time, the long-term effects of AI are just speculative, but they could be terrifying, throwing tens of millions out of work and making a mockery of truth, rendering pictures and […]
