SAG-AFTRA Begins Negotiations With Studios Over AI Rights

SAG-AFTRA moves to open contract talks with the AMPTP starting Feb. 9, led by Sean Astin and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland against AMPTP negotiator Greg Hessinger. The parties are expected to negotiate for at least four weeks, focusing on AI protections, synthetic performers and streaming-compensation rules that lingered after the 2023 strikes. The outcome could shape residuals, consent rules and contract length to avoid another work stoppage.
