With the SAG-AFTRA National Board having approved the tentative agreement between the union and the AMPTP, the final step is for the union's voting members to give the deal its collective thumbs-up or thumbs-down beginning this Tuesday, November 14th. Ahead of the start of voting, SAG-AFTRA is hosting an informational webinar via Zoom for all union members on Monday, November 13th – with additional regional information sessions also being held.
Earlier this evening, a document entitled 'Regulating Artificial Intelligence' was released, offering an overview of the AI protections secured in the deal that covers Employment-Based Digital Replica, Independently Created Digital Replica, Generative Artificial Intelligence, and Digitial Replication of Background Actors.
