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.
Hollywood actors reached a tentative agreement with major studios on Wednesday to resolve the second of two strikes that rocked the entertainment industry this year as workers demanded higher pay in the streaming TV era.
This strike came about because writers wanted fairer compensations, proper residuals, regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), better working standards, and anti-discrimination measures.
In a remarkable show of solidarity and commitment to resolving the ongoing actors' strike that has persisted for over 100 days, a group of Hollywood's most prominent stars convened on a Zoom call this Tuesday to propose a groundbreaking solution. Their unprecedented offer entails lifting the membership dues cap and introducing a new residual system for streaming platforms, aiming to bolster health benefits and address various concerns raised by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) called off its nearly five-month strike on Tuesday night.
Hollywood's writers' union said it reached a preliminary labor agreement with major studios on Sunday, a deal expected to end one of two strikes that have halted most film and television production and cost the California economy billions.
