For those who are worried about the use of AI in projects, there is a new bill that is headed to Gavin Newsom's desk. From the article: "the state Senate Tuesday passed a bill that would require studios, streamers and other employers to seek specific permission from performers to create digital replicas."
“Voice and likeness rights, in an age of digital replication, must have strong guardrails around licensing to protect from abuse, this bill provides those guardrails.”
SAG-AFTRA are strong supporters and it seems like a no-brainer that talents' voices and likenesses must be protected. Do writers need something similar so an executive can't generate something like, "Write a feature length heist script in the style of Quentin Tarantino."
Curious what you all think!
