In the entertainment industry, technology is a tool, not the star. In 2023, SAG-AFTRA and WGA battled AI in an historic dual-strike that resulted in groundbreaking protections. But the fight is far from over as IATSE and the Teamsters gear up for their negotiations in 2024, and industry unions continue fighting AI on Capitol Hill and in state houses across the country. What lessons can be learned from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes? What trends lie ahead? And what future policy work and bargaining techniques will keep humans the leads in their own stories?
