Movie studios must obtain permission from actors to use their images in material generated by artificial intelligence (AI), and pay performers whenever their digital doubles appear on screen, under the labor agreement that ended a 118-day strike. Actors secured these new safeguards as part of a deal announced late on Wednesday, according to Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, chief negotiator for the SAG-AFTRA actors union. Under the three-year contract, actors "have this right of consent, and the right to fair compensation anytime some sort of digital replica or replacement of them is used," Crabtree-Ireland told Reuters.
Wednesday's deal between striking actors and studios and streaming services won't immediately restore filming to its full swing. That will take months.
