The Limitations and Liabilities of A.I.

Or how I learned to protect myself from large language models in the Age of Data Capitalism

What is A.I. and what are its true origins? Where is the technology actually going next? And how can writers avoid feeding the beast? This session will pull back the curtain and educate members on: the current state of Copyright Law with LLM training and Gen AI output, the WGA’s MBA 2026 A.I. protections, and best practices for maintaining control over your work and process (**including the introduction of a new and powerful tool for WGA members to use**).

Larry J. Cohen is a writer, producer and WGAE council member currently serving as the co-Chair of the A.I. Task Force. His credits include Berlin Station, Borgia, In Treatment and Saddam & Me.
