Hollywood actors are striking for the first time in 43 years, bringing the American movie and television business to a halt, partly over fears about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) actors’ union failed to reach an agreement in the US for better protections against AI for its members – and warned that “artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to creative professions” as it prepared to dig in over the issue.
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the chief negotiator for the SAG-AFTRA union, criticised producers for their proposals over AI so far.
I am not sure how this will pan out, perhaps AI actors will be accepted as animation is currently.
At the risk of sounding pervy I expect porn to advance this technology before it goes mainstream.
One good thing, no more woke actors lecturing us about the need to surrender children for sexual mutilation.
