🔦 Today's Spotlight
AI risks in Hollywood are escalating rapidly, raising urgent concerns over creative ownership, job security, and identity rights. This is no longer theoretical: lawsuits, legislation, union strikes, and deepfake controversies reveal how deeply generative AI is disrupting the film and TV industry. Major studios and performers are fighting back- through courtrooms, picket lines, and policy reform- to ensure that AI does not erode the rights, roles, or revenue of human creators.
1. Lawsuits
The legal battlefront has intensified, with recent landmark lawsuits like Disney and Universal vs. Midjourney accusing AI tools of mass copyright infringement. Studios presented near-identical side-by-side AI-generated clones of their iconic characters as evidence. Simultaneously, voice actors and stars like Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks have issued legal warnings over unauthorized use of their voices and likenesses by AI firms, underscoring the industry's zero-tolerance stance toward AI-driven identity theft.
2. Policies
From Congress to California, regulators are fast-tracking laws to close AI loopholes. The federal No FAKES Act aims to establish digital replica rights, while states like Tennessee and California have already passed pioneering laws like the ELVIS Act and AB 1836, criminalizing unauthorized AI use of voices and likenesses. Hollywood guilds have pushed for stronger contractual safeguards, and industry-wide rules now limit how studios can use AI-generated content.
3. Strikes and Union Agreements
Between 2023 and 2025, Hollywood unions launched powerful strikes to counter the growing threat of AI to creative jobs. The Writers Guild of America secured a landmark agreement limiting AI from authorship and protecting human writers’ credit. SAG-AFTRA actors fought for and won consent and compensation rules for AI use in performances, including protections against digital cloning. The battle extended into the video game industry, where a nearly year-long strike by voice actors led to a tentative June 2025 deal with major studios like EA and Activision, adding crucial AI safeguards. These labor victories now form the foundation of industry-wide rules, ensuring that human creators cannot be replaced or replicated by AI without their explicit permission.
4. Deepfakes
While studios experiment with AI de-aging and CGI doubles, backlash has followed. Marvel’s use of generative AI in “Secret Invasion” credits sparked public fury during an ongoing strike, while deepfake ads featuring stars like Tom Hanks fueled scams and misinformation. Even heartfelt AI recreations- like Robin Williams’ voice- have triggered ethical outrage. Amid growing misuse, new watermarking laws and platform takedown protocols are being rolled out, emphasizing consent and transparency.
Conclusion
The Hollywood-AI standoff reflects a broader cultural reckoning with artificial creativity. Through lawsuits, legislation, labor action, and public discourse, the entertainment industry is actively drawing boundaries around the ethical use of AI. The key message is clear: AI may enhance storytelling, but it cannot- and must not- replace the storytellers. In this new phase, respect for human authorship remains the cornerstone of Hollywood.
