\u00a0Negotiators for Hollywood actors and major studios have not resolved concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and other issues in talks aimed at ending an 111-day strike, the SAG-AFTRA union said late Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The union said it had presented a revised proposal on the use of artificial intelligence to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents Netflix, Walt Disney\u00a0and other media companies.<\/p>\n

SAG-AFTRA, in a note to members, said it met with the AMPTP “for more than three hours this afternoon and evening to present and review our revised proposal.”<\/p>\n

The union has been seeking limits on how studios can use generative AI technology when making movies and TV shows. Actors fear they\u00a0may be replaced by digital performers<\/a>\u00a0or that their likenesses may be used without their permission.<\/p>\n

The statement said other issues remain under discussion.<\/p>\n

“We continue to await the AMPTP’s response to our comprehensive counter proposal package which we gave them on Saturday, addressing outstanding issues,” SAG-AFTRA said.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the AMPTP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

SAG-AFTRA\u00a0went on strike in mid-July<\/a>, demanding higher minimum salaries and other gains, and members have been picketing outside studio offices in New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

“Please know that your presence on the picket lines and support on social media remain a source of inspiration,” SAG-AFTRA said to members on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Film and television writers also walked off the job this year in a battle for AI protections and an increase in compensation in the streaming TV era. They\u00a0reached a deal<\/a>\u00a0with the AMPTP in late September.<\/p>\n

The dual strikes shut down most scripted production in the United States, put thousands of crew members out of work and cost the California economy at least $6 billion, according to the Milken Institute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
