SAG-AFTRA Members Nearly Unanimously Ratify New Sound Recordings Code

Maurice Vaughan

"Among the provisions secured in the new contract are protections against artificial intelligence, which SAG-AFTRA said will go into effect immediately. Those include codifying that the terms “artist,” “singer” and “royalty artist” under this agreement only include humans. The contract also demands “clear and conspicuous” consent along with compensation for use of a digital replica." Glad to hear that, Navid Lancaster!

Yeah - this is terrific and so glad to see SAG-AFTRA continuing to work hard for artists!

Kerry Kennard

It’s great to see this news … only to 2026 ?? Wow / would like to see extension to 2030 at least - IMHO.

“The deal, which runs through 2026, received 97.69% yes votes. The major record labels covered by the agreement include Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Disney Music Group, as well as most of their subsidiary labels”.
