‘Matrix’ Co-Creator & Hundreds Of Hollywood A-Listers Want To Stop AI Obliterating Copyright Laws; Lilly Wachowski, Paul McCartney, Ava DuVernay, Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuaron + More Write White House


Hundreds of Hollywood players sent an open letter to the White House Office of Science and Technology warning the entertainment industry is at risk from AI if copyright isn't protected.

“We firmly believe that America’s global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries,” the A-listers, rock god, Oscar winners and nominees, blockbuster stars and more told the White House Office of Science and Technology in an open letter that started circulating this weekend. The Hollywood heavy correspondence comes as techlords OpenAI and Google jumped last week to Donald Trump ’s call for an AI Action Plan by filling briefs outlining a wish list they said would ensure American dominance in artificial intelligence. Birthed in one of the many Executive Orders inked since the 45th POTUS returned to office on January 20, Trump’s Action Plan aims “to sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance.” In that, it was open to comments on the Federal Register website through March 15, a deadline which the Hollywood letter met with a minute to spare this weekend.
