IATSE Agreement Clears the Way to Use Artificial Intelligence as a Tool
The IATSE deal provides that workers can ask for a 'consultation' on AI use, and they will not have to input prompts that displace workers.
Making the “tool” analogy explicit, the deal provides that if the worker uses their own AI system, they can charge a “kit rental fee” — the same as they would for sound recording equipment or some other employee-owned gear. The contract does offer a relatively narrow protection in that regard, providing that no employee will be forced to input prompts that displace other union workers. The IATSE terms are somewhat different, in part because the union is bargaining on behalf of a broad range of disciplines — from hair stylists and boom operators to editors and cinematographers.
