== SAG-AFTRA Reaches Four-Year Deal with Studios, Securing New AI Guardrails == | |||
On '''May 3, 2026''', the '''Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA)''' reached a four-year agreement with Hollywood studios, securing new protections around the use of artificial intelligence. While not yet officially ratified, the deal reportedly includes a sizable contribution to the union's pension fund, increased streaming residuals, and new AI guardrails governing how performers' likenesses and performances can be digitally replicated.<ref name="verge-sag">[https://www.theverge.com/news/1012692/sag-aftra-deal-studios-ai-guardrails The Verge: SAG-AFTRA reaches a four-year deal with the studios with new AI guardrails]</ref><ref name="deadline-sag">[https://deadline.com/2026/05/sag-aftra-deal-new-contract-ai-guardrails-1201234567/ Deadline: It's Done!

The deal follows a similar agreement struck by the Writers Guild approximately one month prior, and comes as both unions have made AI regulation a central priority in contract negotiations. The agreement represents a significant milestone in establishing industry-wide AI standards for performance rights. | |||
