The group believes that loosening copyright laws to help AI learning will come at the cost of creative industries.

Openai, a major American Artificial Intelligence Company, and Google, which runs the AI ​​company Oracle, has written to the office of Science and Technology Policy this month to the office of Science and Technology Policy, which is a matter that it is a matter that AI will be able to use copyright materials to train AI for developers.

The actors have long fought against the expansion of AI, with the apprehension that it will reduce their creative work. One of the major failures during the 2024 SAG-Aftra Union talks with major production companies was that parties could not agree on it. AI rules in film industry.

Sag-abftra, the Sangh that represents around 160,000 artists, wanted film and TV producers to get consent from actors to create and use their digital replicas. He fought for actors to give compensation at his normal rate – even if one of them was performed by digital replication.

Last month, Vice President JD Vance warns European Union countries Against Over Margulation of AI During the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, France. Talking to technical officials and world leaders, Vance said that the excessive regulation of the AI ​​sector could “kill a transformational industry as it is closing.”
