SAG-AFTRA demands consent and payment when AI replicates an actor's voice or image
The U.S. union SAG-AFTRA defended three principles for the use of an artist's image, voice or performance through artificial intelligence: informed consent, control over the use and fair compensation when it has commercial purposes. Its leader, Crabtree-Ireland, cited the case of James Earl Jones, who authorized a digital version of his voice for Darth Vader. He also warned about synthetic performances created without authorization and about generative models trained on artists' works.
