How will AI, algorithms, creators, and data transparency shape the future of Hollywood?

On today's episode, Jamie and Josh dive into the key issues behind the SAG-AFTRA strike. How do major studios plan to use AI – and how can they come to an agreement with unions to ensure actors and writers are fairly compensated? How does a lack of data transparency from streamers and studios influence residual structures and the development of future projects? Why are non-union creators and influencers standing in solidarity with the unions – and what is their role in the evolving digital ecosystem?
