0441 GMT - SAG-AFTRA is among the most mentioned entities in the
news over the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data, after the
guild failed to reach a labor agreement with Hollywood studios.
Members of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists went on strike Friday, after a
deadline to reach a three-year deal with the Alliance of Motion
Picture and Television Producers passed. Issues include the
magnitude of residual payments and protections for guild members
around the use of artificial intelligence to generate their
likenesses. AMPTP said Thursday that its offer included the biggest
increase to minimum payments in 35 years, as well as a 76% bump for
most streaming foreign residuals. It also proposed safeguards to
protect performers' digital likenesses, including "a requirement
for performer's consent for the creation and use of digital
replicas or for digital alterations of a performance." Hollywood
writers are also on strike. A prolonged writer and actor strike
could leave broadcast and cable networks without scripted TV
episodes ready for early fall and squeeze Hollywood's content
pipeline. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva.
