Boycotting agents for AI clients

SAG‑AFTRA signaled that agents who represent synthetic 'performers' risk union backlash and member boycotts. The union asserts notice and bargaining duties when a synthetic is used and frames AI characters as trained on actors’ work without consent or pay. This shifts the conflict to talent‑representation gatekeepers, not just studios. — It reframes how labor power will police AI in entertainment by targeting agents’ incentives and setting early norms for synthetic‑performer usage and consent.
