Creative Guilds Seek Proper Consent, Credit, and Compensation as AI Systems Use Members' Work

SAG-AFTRA leader called for consent, credit, and compensation for actors when their work is used to train AI systems. He noted a "double standard" compared to protections for studios.

WGA secured a deal with studios providing protections on how writers' work can be credited and used in AI. They want similar terms as SAG-AFTRA.

Writers are concerned about theft of their work to train AI systems without consent or compensation. This undercuts their ability to profit from their own creations.

Authors Guild worries AI-generated books will dilute the market and lower value of human-created works. They recently sued OpenAI over copyright infringement.

Speakers raised concerns about rise of AI fraud, like deepfakes of celebrities in ads. Modeling agencies also accused of using AI instead of real diverse models.
