SAG-AFTRA members voted to ratify a four-year contract with major studios, with 91.4% voting in favor and 8.6% opposed. Turnout among eligible members was 19.3%.
The contract includes new provisions allowing producers to use synthetic actors and merges the union's two pension funds. The agreement establishes terms governing the use of artificial intelligence in creating digital performances, a key concern for actors as technology advances in the entertainment industry.
