SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin is reinforcing union protections for actors amid growing interest in AI performer Tilly Norwood. Astin stated that the union is prepared to address the challenge of advancing technology, having previously fought for AI provisions during their strike. He plans to discuss the issue with the Association of Talent Agents and emphasized that audiences desire to see human performers, giving the union leverage in negotiations regarding the use and compensation for actors' work.
