Generative AI in Movies and TV: How the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA Contracts Address Generative AI
In the fall of 2023, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) each ratified new agreements, amending and building upon their collective bargaining agreements with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

For example, in January, sexually explicit deepfakes of Taylor Swift proliferated on social media, prompting X (formerly Twitter) to temporarily lock all searches for the singer’s name on its platform to prevent user access to such deepfakes. A high school in Westfield, New Jersey, recently found itself in the middle of a deepfake porn scandal when a student used AI to paste the faces of 30 female students onto pornographic images and then uploaded...

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to dominate the news and the markets and while some of us are still mulling over existential questions of what it means to be human, AI is about to take yet another fast turn—AI is going multimodal. The next generation of AI will be looking to connect through the very real—and very human—five senses of sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste, not to mention a whole new set of modalities from thermal radiation and haptics to brain waves...
