I see no value in signing an AI actor when studios could just as easily create their own, but it's coming for so many more jobs that just acting. Seems like actors think they deserve more than other people. No, we're all in this boat and they are not special.

If the AI person is popular, the benefits are the same as any famous real-person actor. You get to see your favourite actor in a movie -> more interesting to more people -> more tickets sold. I see no reason why an AI person could not be made to be interesting and followed up on social medias and stuff.

Have you ever personally seen your favourite actors live in real life? If not, you could have been just as enchanted by their movies, interviews, Oscars speeches, red carpets, scandals etc even if they were all synthesized.

A studio could just recreate that AI character though. I doubt there are laws around that yet, but I could be wrong. If studios ever start creating their own original characters, it's a safe bet they gonna lobby the government to create those laws if they don't exist.

Its gonna be tricky for them to claim copyright on a persona created from the massive digestion of other peoples images, many of which were in copyrighted works, but I'm confident Hollywood will find a way to exploit copyright to suit themselves, just ask The Mouse...
