Music labels strike a tentative deal with SAG-AFTRA over AI voices.

The new deal adds protections around using digital voice replicas, reports Reuters.

The terms “artist,” “singer,” and “royalty artist,” under this agreement only include humans. In this agreement, clear and conspicuous consent, along with minimum compensation requirements and specific details of intended use, are required prior to the release of a sound recording that uses a digital replication of an artist’s voice.

AI voice cloning improvements mean we’ll probably see more agreements ensuring performers are informed about how copies of their voices are used.
