Actors' Union Reaches Tentative Deal to End Strike, But Some Say protections Don't Go Far Enough
- Actors' union made tentative deal to end 4-month strike, but some members unhappy with terms
- Key issues were compensation, residuals, and A.I. protections
- Deal provides pay increases, higher residuals, and over $1 billion in gains
- Establishes consent and compensation requirements for "digital replicas" based on real actors
- Critics say protections don't go far enough on generative A.I. that can create synthetic performers
