After 118 days on strike, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The strike, the longest in Hollywood’s history, centered around issues related to artificial intelligence (AI) in actors’ performances and residual payments for streaming content. While the exact details of the agreement have not been disclosed, the resolution suggests that the actors’ concerns regarding AI were at least partially addressed. The strike’s end brings hope for improvements in actors’ job security and compensation, paving the way for the resumption of stalled productions in the industry.
