(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Television and movie actors on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to ratify a four-year contract with studios and streaming services, a month after their union leaders negotiated a deal they say provides protections against synthetic actors created by artificial intelligence.
Main Idea: SAG-AFTRA members overwhelmingly approved a new four-year contract with studios and streamers, bringing more labor stability to Hollywood after the 2023 strikes.
Key Points:
No clear negative impact identified.
The new SAG-AFTRA contract may reduce the chance of more strikes, helping keep movies and TV shows on schedule for workers, small businesses, and viewers.
