SAG-AFTRA demands consent and payment when AI replicates an actor's voice or image

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.

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.
