Gene Maddaus at Variety reports California Lawmakers are considering a slew of proposals to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) - the Union that represents Hollywood Actors, is pushing for legislation that would require detailed consent for the use of “Digital Replicas.”  In a separate Bill, the Union also wants to prevent studios from putting dead Performers in movies without the consent of their heirs.  Underscoring the contentiousness around AI, the Motion Picture Association has come out against the digital Replicas Bill.  If passed, the California measures would expand significantly on AI provisions won during last year’s 118-day SAG-AFTRA Strike, which limit what studios can do in movies and scripted TV shows.
