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.

AI-generated videos gain ground on TikTok and Instagram
AI-based video generators, capable of producing photorealistic sequences with native audio and lip synchronization, are driving a surge of synthetic content on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. According to recent studies cited by the outlet, a very high percentage of the initial content new users receive on TikTok includes synthetic elements or fully generated pieces. The format replicates tutorials, lifestyle sequences, product demonstrations and mini-dramas, and lets creators and brands produce without the constraints of traditional shoots.

Agentic commerce: when AI compares prices and shops for the user
Agentic commerce, in which artificial intelligence assistants make purchases autonomously on behalf of users, is beginning to transform e-commerce. These agents analyze needs, compare features and prices and find products in milliseconds. According to EPAM Systems, which has a presence in Colombia, retailers will have to rethink their digital strategies and rely on structured, real-time data to avoid becoming invisible to purchasing algorithms, as well as extend KYC and KYB processes to AI tools.
