It's not the first time that technology has upended Hollywood's business model–but the WGA-SAG strikes could be the last chance for artists to get justice.

The article discusses the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) in Hollywood, highlighting the impact of new technologies, particularly streaming and artificial intelligence, on the entertainment industry. The strikes are driven by concerns over low residual payments for work on streaming platforms and the potential for AI to replace human actors and writers. The authors emphasize the historical context of such strikes, noting that while concessions may be made, the fundamental inequities in pay and power dynamics between studio executives and creative workers persist. The strikes serve as a critical moment for the industry to address these issues and ensure fair treatment for those who contribute to film and television. [Extracted from the article]
