🤝 Hollywood secures protection from AI exploitation

Our Report: Hollywood Actors have finally secured a labor agreement that requires studios to gain consent and provide payment to actors for AI-generated material that uses their likeness (118-day strike).

🔑 Key Points:

• SAG-AFTRA's deal was reached after a lengthy 118-day strike, establishing vital consent rights and a baseline for AI usage compensation—which will be made public knowledge after SAG-AFTRA national board approval.

• This agreement comes following the Writers Guild of America strike (148-day strike, the longest in its history), where Hollywood screenwriters secured similar AI-related disclosures and protections

• Initial concerns that sparked the strike included actors fearing that AI could replace them, with background and voice actors particularly concerned about losing work to synthetic counterparts.

• According to SAG-AFTRAs lead negotiator, the deal will last 3 years, and actors "have this right of consent, and the right to fair compensation anytime some sort of digital replica or replacement of them is used,"

🤨 Why you should care: The establishment of clear regulations on AI usage in the entertainment industry marks a significant development in the protection of performers’ rights and sets a precedent for the management of AI’s inclusion within the entertainment industry.

😢😊 OpenAI expands data partnerships to understand human emotions

OpenAI has invited organizations to collaborate on creating open-source and private datasets to train AI models more effectively—with the goal of developing AI that deeply understands subject matters, cultures, languages & industries.

So far, they’ve already established partnerships with the likes of The Icelandic Government (to improve GPT-4’s ability to speak Icelandic), and The Free Law Project (to democratize legal understanding), and are looking for new partnerships to increase the depth of understanding for future GPT-4 models.
