Duncan Crabtree-Ireland Urges Lawmakers To Extend AI Bill Protections In Perpetuity, Calls Deepfakes An “Existential Threat”
SAG-AFTRA's Duncan Crabtree-Ireland testified before Congress on Tuesday in support of the NO FAKES Act
SAG-AFTRA also negotiated AI protections in its contract with the recording industry, and it is seeking similar provisions in its Interactive Media Agreement with the video game companies, though those talks are ongoing. However, Crabtree-Ireland argued Tuesday that federal regulation is necessary to fully protect the union’s members, because they “cannot control what others do with AI generated digital replicas of them and cannot successfully demand compensation for that use.” Crabtree-Ireland also argued for the necessity of all people to be protected from the use of digital replicas, using his own experience as an example, explaining that a deep fake video of himself appeared on the internet last year urging SAG-AFTRA members not to ratify their new three-year contract.
