SAG-AFTRA deployed AI protections in its Television Animation Agreement, ratified in March 2024, as the first SAG-AFTRA animation voiceover contract to include protections against AI misuse. The agreement requires consent when an AI system is prompted with a performer's name, and mandates notice and bargaining whenever any synthetic voice — not just human character voices — is created via generative AI.

Ratified in March 2024, the Television Animation Agreement includes AI provisions that go further than the live-action TV/Theatrical Agreement in some respects. For example, consent is required whenever a generative AI system is prompted with a performer's name — regardless of whether a 'major facial feature' is included, as is required in live action. Additionally, if a producer creates any synthetic voice through generative AI — including non-human characters — they must give SAG-AFTRA notice and bargain for appropriate consideration. The agreement also establishes mandatory regularly scheduled AI meetings with producers, including discussion of methods to track digital replica use.
