Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the screenwriting business by building scripts, fine-tuning dialogues, and even suggesting ideas for plot development. However, it involves ethical challenges in its application, such as how to determine the rightful authorship of the script's content while preserving human writers' creative rights or managing the potential biases that AI systems might introduce into scripts. These complexities require a clear and established set of ethical rules. Such rules will, therefore, ensure the protection of the creative process and that AI is used to enhance the quality and authenticity of screenwriting in the industry.

[...] Those practices promote AI's moral development in screenwriting and give rise to more varied issues in real life. D. Rule Respect for Intellectual Property Intellectual Property protection in the AI-generated content domain is of particular concern as it relates to the ethical aspects of the domain and the requirements of the law. A culture of fairness and equality should be built on this, and those who crafted the original texts and images should be recognized and rewarded. Given that AI technologies are becoming increasingly proficient when they can be mistaken for content created by human beings, the problem of identifying AI-generated or human-generated content is both a technical and ethical issue. [...]

[...] Rule Protection of Creative Integrity AI should be regarded as a collaborator rather than a replacement for human creativity. This way, technology secures the original human factor of storytelling and forms the groundwork where technology is the stimulant for creativity rather than its substitute. This belief is vital for preserving the relationship between filmmakers and audiences, which forms the cornerstone of the film and television industry. With AI becoming increasingly deeply embedded into script development, there is an art to determine AI's role. [...]

[...] Adhering to these guidelines will lead to film and television productions that are not only ethically sound but also rich in creativity and diversity. Implementing this ethical framework is crucial for guiding the screenwriting industry toward a future where AI enhances the creative process without compromising the core values of honesty, respect, and artistic originality. Thus, this code provides a robust basis for the evolution of screenwriting in the age of artificial intelligence, promoting a harmonious and progressive coexistence of technology and human creativity.

[...] By such integration, screenwriters keep artistic integrity and thus can stay at the helm of all creative choices. According to Kavitha, using AI at every stage of filmmaking is critical but should not come at the cost of taking away the roles humans play in the creative process (Kavitha, 2023). The ethical aspect of AI controlling screenwriters should be precisely specified and well organized with a perspective of AI improving rather than replacing human creativity. Without it, the integrity and vitality of the film and television industry will be compromised, as the ability of these industries to create meaningful, diverse stories will be undermined. [...]
