SAG-AFTRA Submits New AI Proposal to Studios, Optimistic About Reaching Deal Despite Pause in Talks

SAG-AFTRA sent a revised AI proposal to studios on Wednesday, but has not received a response yet. No formal talks occurred on Thursday.

Both sides remain optimistic about reaching a deal soon, despite the pause in talks. They view the waiting period as normal.

Progress has likely been made on a streaming revenue share for performers, though details are unclear.

CEOs who participated last week are being briefed but are not directly involved in the current talks.

Use of AI and protecting performers' rights around it remains a key issue, with SAG-AFTRA focused on consent, compensation, and limiting infinite duplications.
