This guide treats those provisions as a historical negotiation outcome and distinguishes successor agreements that govern current work.
深入探讨
The Writers Guild of America was on strike from May 2 to September 27, 2023. SAG-AFTRA's television and film members struck from July 14 to November 9, 2023. It was the first time both unions had struck at the same time since 1960. AI was one of several disputes, alongside streaming residuals and writers' room staffing, but its terms have been copied more than any other part of the deals. The WGA's 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement treats AI as a tool, not a writer. AI-generated text does not count as literary material. That means it cannot be treated as source material, and studios cannot use it to reduce a writer's credit, pay or separated rights. If a studio gives a writer AI-generated material, it has to say so. The writer is then paid as if writing from scratch, not at the lower rate for a rewrite or polish. A writer may choose to use AI if the company agrees, but a company cannot require it. The guild also kept the right to argue that using writers' scripts to train AI is prohibited by the contract or by other law. That question was left open, not settled. SAG-AFTRA's contract focuses on digital replicas. An employment-based replica is made while the performer is working on a production. An independently created replica is built from existing footage or recordings. Both need clear, conspicuous consent that describes the intended use with reasonable specificity, and both require payment. 'Synthetic performers' are AI-generated characters that are not recognizable as any real person. Using one requires notice to the union and a chance to bargain. A common misconception is that the deals banned AI in Hollywood. They did not. They set rules for consent, disclosure and pay, and those rules cover only the studios that signed the contracts. The contracts run for about three years at a time.

The Future of AI Provisions in the 2023 Hollywood Strikes
The WGA’s 2026–2030 MBA preserves the 2023 protections and adds written Guild notice and discussion rights when a company licenses covered work for commercial GAI training. SAG-AFTRA’s 2023 TV/Theatrical agreement expired June 30, 2026; members ratified a successor in 2026. Contract terms attach to covered work, parties, and dates, not to every person or production in the industry. The 2023 agreement remains useful for understanding strike demands and contract design, while current employment questions require the successor agreement and its coverage rules.
现实世界的实施
A studio gives a screenwriter an AI-generated outline. It has to say the outline came from AI, and the writer is paid and credited as if the screenplay were original work, not a cheaper rewrite.
A writer uses a chatbot to brainstorm scene ideas. This is allowed if the studio agrees, but the studio could not have required the writer to use that tool.
A production scans an actor on set so it can recreate a crowd shot later. The actor has to be told how the scan will be used and must agree before the production uses it.
A producer wants to make an AI-generated character that looks like no real person. The contract requires the producer to notify SAG-AFTRA and give the union a chance to bargain over it.

常见问题
What is AI Provisions in the 2023 Hollywood Strikes?
The 2023 Hollywood strikes produced union contract provisions governing generative AI: WGA rules for writers and SAG-AFTRA consent and compensation protections for performers’ digital replicas. This guide treats those provisions as a historical negotiation outcome and distinguishes successor agreements that govern current work.
Under the 2023 WGA agreement, why can't a studio use an AI-written draft to lower a writer's pay?
Because AI output is not literary material, it cannot be treated as source material. So the writer is not reduced to a lower-paid rewriter.
What must a studio do if it hands a writer material that was generated by AI?
The WGA terms require disclosure when material given to a writer was produced by AI.
Which statement about writers' own use of AI is correct under the 2023 deal?
Using AI is the writer's choice, subject to the company's consent. Studios cannot make it mandatory.
How did the WGA deal handle the question of training AI on writers' scripts?
The guild kept the right to assert that training on writers' work violates the contract or other law. The question was not resolved.
What distinguishes an employment-based digital replica from an independently created one in the SAG-AFTRA contract?
The difference is how the replica was made: during a job, or from existing footage and recordings. Both need consent.
