June 25 (Reuters) - A union representing Hollywood film

and television crew said on Tuesday it has reached a tentative

three-year deal with major studios that includes agreed-on pay

hikes and guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence

(AI).

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees

(IATSE) members, which include lighting technicians and costume

designers, are to ratify the deal with the Alliance of Motion

Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents

Disney ( DIS ), Netflix ( NFLX ) and others.

The terms of the agreement include scale-rate increases of

7%, 4%, and 3.5% over the three-year term, the union said.

On the AI front, the deal includes "language that ensures no

employee is required to provide Al prompts in any manner that

would result in the displacement of any covered employee."

In late 2023, the SAG-AFTRA actors union and the studios

reached a labor agreement which ended a near six-month dispute

that had halted film and TV production.

That contract also provided for pay raises and streaming

bonuses that union leaders said amounted to more than $1 billion

over three years, and also included protection around the use of

AI in filmmaking.
