The International Alliance of Stage Theater Employees (IATSE), a union representing Hollywood film and television technical crews, has reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on protections against the use of artificial intelligence (AI). According to Reuters, the contract is provisional, with an initial duration of three years.
In 2023, after the AI boom, the actors’ and screenwriters’ unions go on strike demanding, in addition to a wage increase, measures against the use of AI in film production (use of images and voices of actors and production of texts and screenplays from technology).
The strike, considered the second largest in Hollywood, only officially ended in December, when SAG-AFTRA ratified the proposal submitted by the studios, the final step in ending the strike.
In total, the strike of both groups lasted almost 150 days (the actors’ strike, which began later, lasted 118 days), affecting several major productions. Before that, the longest actors’ strikes occurred in 1980, which lasted 95 days, and 2000, which lasted six months.
