SAG-AFTRA has inked a deal with the AI company Ethovox as it creates a “foundational voice model” that serves as the basis for digital replicas.
According to the union, the contract “leads the field in performer compensation,” because it requires session fees as well as ongoing revenue sharing through the life of the foundational model. In addition to securing proper compensation for SAG-AFTRA members who want to participate in the building of the model, the union says it has secured a “commitment to diversity and inclusion” from Ethovox.
