A tentative agreement has been reached between Hollywood performers, media professionals, and major record labels such as Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. The agreement covers the period from 2021 to 2026 and includes increases in minimum salaries and protections against the use of AI. SAG-AFTRA, the union representing around 160, 000 actors and media professionals, has unanimously approved the deal. The issue of AI has been a significant concern in the entertainment industry, and discussions between SAG-AFTRA and major studios last year focused on addressing this concern.
The agreement requires consent and compensation before releasing a song that utilizes a digital replica of an artist's voice. The terms "artist, " "singer, " and "royalty artist" explicitly apply to humans under this deal. The agreement also includes improvements in health and retirement options, as well as an increase in the percentage of streaming revenue covered by contributions. The final ratification vote by members is expected to occur in the coming weeks.
