Studios released a memo detailing the offer on Tuesday which includes writers room guarantees and greater viewership data transparency
The document outlining the proposals was released after guild leadership and CEOs met on Tuesday night, according to“Our priority is to end the strike so that valued members of the creative community can return to what they do best and to end the hardships that so many people and businesses that service the industry are experiencing. We have come to the table with an offer that meets the priority concerns the writers have expressed.
AMPTP’s new proposal bans written material produced by generative AI software from being considered “literary material” or “source material,” and includes guarantees that writers’ “compensation, credit and separated rights will not be affected by the use of GAI-produced material.” “For example, if the Company gives a writer a GAI-produced screenplay and asks the writer to rewrite it, the writer will receive the fee for a screenplay with no assigned material and not a rewrite,” the AMPTP document states. “Or, if the Company gives a writer a GAI-produced story as the basis for a teleplay, the writer will receive the story and teleplay rate.”
The AMPTP is also offering the WGA increases to 5 percent in wage rates in the first year of the contract, 4 percent in the second year, and 3.5 percent in the third year, consistent with what the Directors Guild of AmericaStreaming services are also offering to make viewership data available to the WGA in the form of “quarterly confidential reports” that will include the total amount of hours viewed per streaming project.
