Collective bargaining and statutory rights requiring explicit informed consent, reasonable specificity, and compensation for synthetic digital double and voice clone labor replacement.
Pioneered by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA collective bargaining agreement and codified in California AB 2602, contractual provisions that permit employers to generate synthetic digital replicas of employees' likeness or voice are unenforceable unless the agreement contains a reasonably specific description of the intended replica use and the employee was represented by legal or union counsel.
