The Writers Guild of America East has struck a partnership with the AI shielding tool Cloak, a service that aims to help writers safeguard their work from training AI models. The effort responds to years of training from those models on screenplays without explicit permission, which has sparked questions over the legality of using those scripts without permission. The union has maintained that using scripts to train AI models does not constitute fair use.
