In a startling revelation made in the course of the press convention asserting their strike, Hollywood actors disclosed that the studios are demanding possession of their AI replicas with none compensation—a proposition that feels paying homage to a dystopian narrative from the tv sequence Black Mirror.
Duncan Crabtree-Eire, the chief negotiator for SAG-AFTRA, shared particulars of the Hollywood studios’ proposal, which was described by the Alliance of Movement Image and Tv Producers (AMPTP) as a “groundbreaking AI proposal” safeguarding the digital likenesses of actors belonging to SAG-AFTRA.

When questioned in regards to the proposal on the press convention, Crabtree-Eire expressed his incredulity, stating:
“Yesterday, they offered us with this so-called ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal. They prompt that our background performers ought to endure scanning, obtain fee for a single day’s work, and grant possession of that scan, their picture, and their likeness to the studios indefinitely. These studios would then have the appropriate to make the most of this digital illustration with none consent or compensation, on any future venture, for all eternity. In the event that they imagine this can be a groundbreaking proposal, I counsel they reevaluate their perspective.”
The mixing of generative AI has been a contentious challenge within the ongoing negotiations between the 2 events, with its implications extending past the present actors’ strike and likewise enjoying a big position within the writers’ strike. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher emphasised the urgency of the state of affairs in her opening assertion, warning, “If we fail to take a agency stand now, we are going to all face dire penalties. Our very existence is at stake, as we danger being changed by machines.”
The SAG-AFTRA strike is scheduled to begin at midnight tonight, marking a pivotal second within the wrestle for truthful therapy and the preservation of actors’ rights.
