Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA- covered projects: AI-generated written material is not considered literary material, source material or assigned material under the MBA.
AI is not a writer under the MBA.
Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing
writing services.
Company must disclose to writer if any material given to writer has been generated by AI or incorporates AI-generated material.
Guild reserves right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law.
----------------------------
Notably, the demand "MBA-covered material can’t be used to train AI" appears not to be part of the tentative agreement.
> Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.
Seems like a loophole: a company could increase the workload to the point GPT tools are needed and claim a writer is not performing (when compared to a writer that does use GPT).
Edit: actually, that the Writers Guild's one, so wrong one... sorry...
