    SAG-AFTRA has been leading the fight for stronger laws over marketing “synthetic performers”. Cynthia Brian shares the commitment of SAG-AFTRA to defend humanity.

    Artificial intelligence companies illegally copied authors’ books from pirate e-book sites to develop their large language model without the permission from authors. Authors are fighting back, and the Authors Guild launched the “Human Authored” certification. Licensing platforms are being announced and partnerships are being formed to compensate authors.

    The Authors Guild formalized its opposition to word banning recently. Words are raw materials from which writers build their stories. Find out how the Authors Guild stands for the inclusion of a rich diversity of written words.

    Collagen accounts for almost 1/3 of the total proteins in our bodies. The need for collagen can be satisfied through the foods we eat. However, is it a good idea to take a supplement?

    As children, our parents instructed us to stand up straight. It turns out that good psoture is important. Poor posture can lead to falls and tripping. Strengthen your muscles, sit up straight, do pelvic tilts, train your core, and develop healthy posutre.
