The 2026 MOA (April 4, 2026; term May 2, 2026 to May 1, 2030) amends only Paragraph G of Article 72: it keeps semi-annual meetings and adds written notice to the Guild when a company grants a compensated licence to a non-affiliated third party to train a public-facing commercial GAI system, with a meeting on request. Paragraphs A-F (AI not a writer, disclosure, consent) are not amended in Item 15, and the WGA's AI page still describes the 2023 provisions.
