Writers are calling the provisions a big win.

“This is us being open to the future, which is, hey, there may be uses of AI in the future,” he said. “Every writer I know loathes it, but, you know, if something winds up getting qualified as research in the future or something like that, you can use it as long as it goes by the company's rules.”

While the agreement does not explicitly forbid studios from using a writers’ work to train AI, Rogers said it gives the guild the right to intervene if it does happen. Oliver Mayer, a playwright, screenwriter, and head of dramatic writing at USC School of Dramatic Arts, echoed Peck. He said the AI provisions in the agreement won by the WGA can help set a legal precedent.
