'Bargaining for our very existence': why the battle over AI is being fought in Hollywood

To get her start in Hollywood, Chivonne Michelle studied acting at New York University. But what helped her break into the industry and gave her the key training she needed was working on set as a background actor. Today, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology threatens to put those "entry level and working class" Hollywood jobs at risk, Michelle and other striking actors say. AI is threatening jobs across many sectors, from doctors and lawyers to data scientists and journalists. But Hollywood actors and writers, currently united in their first "double strike" in more than 60 years, are fighting back in an unprecedented way, vowing to protect every worker in their industry, from the extras to the stars, from being replaced by new technologies.
