Hollywood writers strike over pay and AI

LOS ANGELES, May 6: The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and its 11,500 members went on strike this week. The industry-wide strike is the first in 15 years, bringing Hollywood production on many new projects to a halt.

According to the WGA and other industry experts, the entertainment industry is currently undergoing a major transformation with the rise of streaming services and massive changes in consumer viewing habits, which is adversely affecting writers and their livelihoods.
