As the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes continue to stall production on film and television projects, state and federal legislators are drafting bills to protect performers from the use of artificial intelligence to replace them.

Two of these bills—New York Senate Bill S7422, sponsored by New York Senator Lea Webb, and Assembly Bill A7634, sponsored by assembly member Demond Meeks—would prohibit production companies seeking the the Empire State Film Production Credit from using AI in place of people.

“This legislation seeks to protect creative workers by preventing the supplantation of their work by artificial intelligence,” the Senate Bill reads. “The continued investment by New York State in this tax credit program must be tied to the support of the workforce within the film and television production industry.”

Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray, & Christmas recently reported nearly 4,000 jobs were lost due to artificial intelligence in May 2023 alone.
