# Lights, Camera, Action (Against AI)!
In a dramatic twist that could leave Hollywood scriptwriters scrambling for a new plot, California has taken a bold step to protect its performers from the clutches of AI. Get ready, folks, because while robots are taking over our jobs in many industries, actors are saying, “Not on our stage!” Here’s a riveting breakdown of what this new legislative performance is all about.
## Key Points
– **New Bills for Actors**: California has enacted two new bills aimed at protecting actors and performers from the grasp of AI technology.
– **SAG-AFTRA Protections**: These bills not only align with the AI safeguards established by SAG-AFTRA last year but also expand protections to include a wider range of performers.
– **Precedent-Setting Legislation**: This move could set a new standard for AI-related legislation across the United States, potentially prompting other states to follow suit.
– **Broadening the Scope**: Unlike previous measures, the new legislation aims to cover everyone in the entertainment sector—because why should stars have all the fun?
– **No More Impersonations**: The laws are intended to ensure that AI cannot impersonate actors without their consent
