Regulating AI in the 2023 TV/Theatrical Contract. Employment-Based Digital Replica. (2/6)

Employment-Based Digital Replica.  Created during a performer's employment with their physical participation, and use to portray the performer in scenes they didn't actually shoot.
 Mandatory consent from performers is required for creating and using their digital replicas.   Consent not obtained before deah must be obtained from an authorized representative or the Union.  Clear contracts with a reasonably specific description of the use.  Additional consent requirements for use in additional projects.
Performers are generally entitled to compensation (including pension and health contributions) for the creation and use of their replicas, and for their use in additional projects or other mediums.   Residuals will also be paid for any use that would normally generate residuals.
