Are you wanting to experiment with ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, or other AI tools to develop scripts, treatments or story ideas?
While these tools offer exciting possibilities, they also introduce complex questions around copyright, ownership, and collaboration that screenwriters need to understand.
