The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has recently signed an agreement with the AI company Ethovox to protect actors' rights in artificial intelligence voice models. The primary goal of this agreement is to establish a responsible framework for the use of AI in the entertainment industry, ensuring that actors' rights are upheld in the new technological era. Under this agreement, actors will receive upfront payments when recording their voices and will share in subsequent revenues. This means that actors will be compensated fairly when their voices are used in AI models.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has recently signed a landmark agreement with the AI voice company Ethovox, setting clear regulations for the AI application of actor voice data. This agreement not only provides a reliable framework for the entertainment industry’s use of AI technology but also establishes new standards for protecting actors' rights. According to the agreement, actors will receive dual revenue guarantees: an upfront payment for voice recordings and ongoing revenue sharing from the application of AI voice models. More importantly, any use of voice data requires consent.
