📢 Several well-known publishers, including The New York Times, Reuters, and The Washington Post, are demanding that generative AI sites like OpenAI's ChatGPT pay for content usage. 🚫 Publishers have already taken measures to prevent generative AI from using their content and are negotiating terms for payment and increased web traffic. 💰 The generative AI market is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032, while major AI companies are facing copyright lawsuits from book authors, artists, and software programmers.

The Hollywood Writers Guild (WGA) announced that it has reached a 'tentative' agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), ending months of strike action. The agreement includes a new 2023 collective bargaining agreement addressing issues such as compensation and the use of AI in scriptwriting, although specific terms have not yet been disclosed. The agreement must be approved by the WGA board and its members to officially end the strike, and until then, the union will pause strike activities. This agreement marks a significant turning point for the Hollywood industry, signaling a pivotal moment for writers.
