Hollywood names unite to launch Creators Coalition on AI

Amid growing concern over AI in film and TV, a group of entertainment figures has launched the Creators Coalition on AI to defend creators’ rights and set clear standards. The 18 founders include Daniel Kwan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natasha Lyonne, Janet Yang, David Goyer, Paul Trillo, and others. They position CCAI as a cross-industry hub that will pursue four pillars: transparency; consent and compensation for content and data; job protection with transition plans; guardrails against misuse and deepfakes; and safeguarding humanity in the creative process. More than 500 artists back the effort, including Cate Blanchett, Rian Johnson, Phil Lord, Kristen Stewart, and Taika Waititi. The coalition formed after a wave of tech agreements that alarmed creators and sparked demands for shared principles.
