SAG-AFTRA Negotiations Progressing, More Talks Scheduled

Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are set to continue on Thursday, with AI being a sticking point in the contract talks. While a deal seemed to be in sight on Tuesday, issues such as guardrails on entertainment companies' use of AI still need to be resolved. SAG-AFTRA members held a "Unity Picket" at Disney Studios, with other entertainment unions showing support. SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher addressed her negotiating style after reports emerged that she attended negotiations with a plush heart-shaped doll.
