Tensions are rising along with the temperature on the picket lines outside the studios of Hollywood as Writers Guild of America (WGA) members continue their three-month-long strike as the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) debate the use of artificial intelligence in film and television production.

“I’m very nervous about it,” WGA and SAG-AFTRA member Gloria Bigalow told Decrypt outside Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, Calif. “We understand that artificial intelligence is coming, it’s here, it’s going to be a part of our lives. But we need to use it as a tool, it shouldn’t replace people.”

Bigalow, who writes for the CBS/Paramount series “Bob Hearts Abishola,” says there hasn’t been much activity since negotiations between the WGA and Producers stalled in May, leading the writers guild to take to the picket lines to have their voices heard directly.

“People want to know that their jobs are protected,” Bigalow said. “What the [WGA] is trying to do is protect us from what happens two, five, and 10 years from now.”
