Primal Screen: Clem Bastow and Thao Phan on AI and Strikes in Arts/Education

Flick Ford is joined by screenwriter co-host of Superfluity, Clem Bastow, and feminist technoscience researcher, Thao Phan, to discuss the parallels between The Writers Guild of America strikes and the ongoing negotiations with SAG-AFTRA. They discuss the impacts of AI on the film and arts industries, how it will affect the future of artistic labour, and draw parallels with the recent strikes occurring at a number of Australian universities (which Flick, Clem, and Thao have all been involved in), calling for fair pay, secure jobs, and safer workloads.
