Artificial intelligence has returned to the forefront of the ongoing labor dispute between Hollywood actors and the entertainment industry’s biggest studios, potentially bringing the months-long SAG-AFTRA strike to a close. After the latest round of negotiations, the studios have offered further concessions regarding AI regulation, which include controlling the ability of studios to replicate actors’ voices and likenesses via generative artificial intelligence models. There is now emerging hope in Hollywood that a common ground on AI could be a sizable enough victory for SAG-AFTRA to put the entire strike to bed. Lead negotiators for both sides are set to meet again this afternoon, with an increasing number of industry players hoping for a final resolution. #SAGAFTRA #AILabourDispute #Hollywood #AIinEntertainment
