| Area | Issue | |------|-------| | | SAG-AFRTA 2023 strike secured protections requiring consent & compensation for AI replication of human actors. AI actresses are still allowed for wholly synthetic characters. | | Copyright | USCO currently denies copyright for AI-generated characters without significant human authorship (e.g., Zarya of the Dawn decision). Distributors hesitate to fully own AI actresses. | | Uncanny Valley | Despite advances, prolonged close-ups or emotional extremes (grief, rage) remain detectable as synthetic. | | Typecasting & Depth | Current AI actresses lack genuine life experience; emotional performances are mimicry, not interpretation. | | Piracy | Deepfake technology allows anyone to create pornographic or defamatory content of an AI actress’s likeness, without an actual person to sue for defamation. |
