Netflix is facing criticism for listing an artificial intelligence (AI) product manager role worth an upwards salary of $900,000 (£698,900) amid the ongoing actors’ and writers’ strike.
Hollywood has been effectively shut down since 14 July, when the Screen Actors Guild of America – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) joined its fellow screenwriters’ union, the Writers Guild of America (WGA), in the fight for increased base pay, higher streaming residuals and assurances that their work won’t be replaced by AI.
