Hollywood Studios Await Response to AI Proposals in SAG-AFTRA Strike

Hollywood studios are preparing to make an offer to SAG-AFTRA in hopes of ending the 113-day actors strike. The talks may extend into the weekend if a tentative agreement is within reach. Union president Fran Drescher expressed hope that the studios' response would "seal the deal." The studios have not indicated whether their offer will be a "last, best and final" one, and SAG-AFTRA could choose to reject it and continue the strike. The union has been holding out for certain items, including on artificial intelligence, which it considers crucial for actors.
