Overview

• SAG-AFTRA members approved the 2025 Interactive Media Agreement by a 95.04% vote, officially ending the year-long strike over AI use and wages.
• Performers receive a 15.17% pay increase upon ratification and three annual 3% raises through 2027, while health and retirement contributions rise to 17% now and 17.5% by October 2026.
• The contract mandates written consent for any AI-driven digital replica, compensates time spent creating replicas and requires detailed usage reports for actors.
• Delegates secured the right to suspend AI consent during future strikes, blocking studios from using simulated voice or motion as strikebreakers.
• Major publishers including Activision Productions, Electronic Arts, Epic Games and Disney Character Voices signed on, setting a precedent for labor and technology standards in interactive media.
