SeanPenn says the industry “has been upending” writers, actors and directors “for a very long time”
on Friday, saying the dispute over artificial intelligence is “a human obscenity.”
“There’s a lot of new concepts being tossed about including the use of AI. It strikes me as a human obscenity for there to be pushback on that from the producers,” said Penn, a veteran writer-director in addition to being an actor.Film and TV screenwriters earlier this month began striking after talks with producers broke off. The WGA is seeking better pay, new contracts for the streaming era and safeguards against the use of AI-scripted work-arounds.
After the press conference, Penn said in a statement that he meant to refer to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , which is negotiating on behalf of producers, not the Producers Guild of America.Penn’s comments come as the potential for a wider work stoppage in Hollywood may be growing. The Directors Guild is also negotiating a new contract with producers.
