SAG-AFTRA Seeks to Write AI Protections Into California Law


SAG-AFTRA is pushing for two bills that would expand on AI protections won at the bargaining table last fall.

If passed, the California measures would expand significantly on AI provisions won during last year’s 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike, which limit what studios can do in movies and scripted TV shows. The MPA argues that the digital replicas bill, as currently written, would restrict the use of standard post-production techniques, some of which have been around for decades, by requiring that every conceivable alteration be agreed upon in advance. Kalra, D-San Jose, appeared to suggest that the bill would outlaw “tiling,” the VFX process commonly used to create crowd scenes.
