Hollywood Unions Speak Out on AI Threats

As tech leaders warn about AI's existential risks, entertainment labor unions are urging the public to focus on the immediate, real-world impacts already affecting workers. SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America East responded to questions about AI warnings, while major studios including Disney, Netflix, Amazon, and Lionsgate declined to comment. The contrast highlights a growing divide between abstract fears about AI's future dangers and the concrete concerns of workers already facing disruption from the technology in their industries.
