Actor, Voice & Model AI Likeness Watch

Why this is recommended

A state law that lets a performer demand removal of an AI clone, a union rate for digital replica use worth $2,000 a session, or a platform term that would have licensed a voice forever each is worth more than the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 400,000 working actors, voice actors, models and performers in the US and the influencers whose face and voice are their income.

When it runs

State digital replica laws take effect January 1, union agreements are ratified with 30-day windows, and AI voice and likeness platforms change terms with product launches

Scope

SAG-AFTRA, Actors' Equity, AFM and WGA agreements; Tennessee ELVIS Act, California AB 2602 and AB 1836, New York and Illinois laws, and the federal NO FAKES Act; ElevenLabs, Respeecher, Synthesia and Metaphysic terms; Backstage, Casting Networks and Actors Access fees; court rulings on voice and likeness; state talent agency rules

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

State and federal digital replica, right of publicity and deepfake laws with effective dates, SAG-AFTRA, Equity and AFM agreement terms on AI use, AI voice and likeness platform consent and payment changes, casting and audition platform fee changes, lawsuits and settlements over AI voice cloning, agency and talent payment rule changes, and union contract negotiation deadlines, with the law or platform first.

Track performer rights for US actors, voice actors and models. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state and federal digital replica, right of publicity and deepfake laws and bills with effective dates including the NO FAKES Act; SAG-AFTRA, Actors' Equity, AFM and WGA agreement terms, ratifications, negotiation deadlines and strikes involving AI provisions; consent, payment and licensing term changes at ElevenLabs, Respeecher, Synthesia, Metaphysic and other AI voice and likeness platforms; casting and audition platform fee changes at Backstage, Casting Networks and Actors Access; lawsuits, settlements and rulings over AI voice cloning and likeness use; and state talent agency, pay and child performer rule changes. Prefer union, legislative, platform terms, court and agency sources; ignore speculation about unannounced deals. Put the law or platform first in the title. Use high severity for a law taking effect within 60 days, a union ratification vote, or a platform term change on consent or perpetual licensing. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it protects or affects, the date, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
