Olivia Williams says actors need nudity rider'-type controls for AI body scans
"Actors should have as much control over the data harvested from scans of their body as they do over nudity scenes, the actor Olivia Williams has said, amid heightened concern over artificial intelligence's impact on performers."
"A reasonable request would be to follow the precedent of the nudity rider', she said. This footage can only be used in the action of that scene. It cannot be used in any other context at all, and when the scene has been edited it must be deleted on all formats."
"I don't necessarily want to be paid any more money for the use of my likeness, she said. I just don't want my likeness to appear in places where I haven'"
Performers face pressure to undergo body scans on set with limited guarantees about how scan data will be used or stored. Contract clauses often grant studios broad, perpetual rights over performers' likenesses across current and future platforms. Many performers report being ambushed into scans without time to negotiate data handling or AI training restrictions. Concerns exist that scan data could be used to train AI models, enabling synthetic performances and threatening future work. Legal options to own or restrict body-scan data remain unclear and costly, preventing many performers from reclaiming control.
