SAG-AFTRA is championing federal legislation that would protect members' voices and likenesses — and everyone else’s as well — from unauthorized digital replication.
"We thank Ms. Johansson for speaking out on this issue of crucial importance to all SAG-AFTRA members. We share in her concerns and fully support her right to have clarity and transparency regarding the voice used in developing the Chat GPT-4o appliance 'Sky'.
"SAG-AFTRA members are among the most talented and often most recognizable people on the planet. That is why we’re strongly championing federal legislation that would protect their voices and likenesses — and everyone else’s as well — from unauthorized digital replication.
"We are pleased that Open AI has responded to these concerns and paused their use of ‘Sky’, and we look forward to working with them and other industry stakeholders to enshrine transparent and resilient protections for all of us.”
