Summary
Adam Conover urged Saskatchewan labour delegates to use collective action to protect workers from artificial intelligence, drawing on the Writers Guild of America’s 2023 strike. Speaking at the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour convention in Regina on Oct. 22, he said the five-month strike secured contract protections against AI and employment guarantees after studios initially refused to discuss them. Conover said the protections prevent studios from forcing writers to rewrite AI-generated scripts and treating them as the writers’ work.
