What do the SAG-AFTRA 2023 and 2026 MOA texts each say about Employment-Based Digital Replica definition and Synthetic use, and where do the two wordings visibly differ?
Comparing the 2023 MOA with 2026 Attachment D: the 2026 text keeps the Employment-Based Digital Replica criteria. A footnote treats an asset made without the performer's physical participation as such a replica for Section 64.A.(2)(b) purposes, with no creation payment. The Synthetic provision gains a stated principle strongly favouring human performance and a notice, meeting (10 business days) and failure-to-agree (15/20 business days) sequence, which sunsets on 2030-06-30 back to the 2023 wording. New text covers footage used to train GAI systems for Synthetics. Because the 2026 PDF is marked up, some final wording is inferred.
