Hollywood Studios' Shocking Proposal for Actors and AI

In a move that has been met with widespread criticism, Hollywood studios have proposed a new deal that would allow them to use AI-generated replicas of actors without their consent. The proposal, which was revealed by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), has been called "shocking" and "a violation of actors' rights."

Under the proposal, studios would be able to scan actors' faces and bodies and then use that data to create AI-generated replicas of the actors. These replicas could then be used in any project that the studios want, without the actors' consent or compensation.

SAG-AFTRA has called the proposal "a clear violation of actors' rights" and has vowed to fight it. The union has also warned that the proposal could have a chilling effect on the careers of background actors, who are often the most vulnerable members of the acting community.

The proposal is still under consideration, but it has already sparked a debate about the future of work in the entertainment industry. As AI technology continues to develop, it is likely that we will see more and more proposals like this one. It is important to have a conversation about how we can protect the rights of workers in the age of AI.
