The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has expressed support for the Trump administration's national artificial intelligence policy framework, citing protections for performers' digital likenesses and creative work.

The union characterized the policy as providing "protections for human creativity" and called for strong safeguards against the unauthorized use of members' performances and likenesses in AI-generated content. SAG-AFTRA has been increasingly vocal about AI-related concerns as the technology's capabilities in creating synthetic media have advanced.

Meanwhile, a new documentary titled "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist" has been released, featuring interviews with prominent technology executives including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The film examines perspectives on artificial intelligence development from industry leaders.

The documentary attempts to present a balanced view of AI technology, exploring both potential benefits and risks. Critics have noted the film's approach of seeking middle ground on what has become an increasingly polarized topic in technology and policy circles.

Both developments highlight ongoing debates over AI regulation and the entertainment industry's efforts to protect creative workers from potential displacement or unauthorized use of their work through artificial intelligence applications.
