UK Child Acting Agents Demand 'Non-AI' Clauses in Contracts After Peppa Pig AI Backlash

Jake Kanter
Summary
Child acting agents in the UK, represented by the Agents of Young Performers Association (AYPA), are calling for "non-AI" clauses to be inserted into acting contracts following backlash over AI terms used in the children's show Peppa Pig. The AYPA wants contracts to explicitly prevent studios from using AI to capture, clone, train, or reuse a child's voice, arguing that children cannot provide fully informed legal consent for AI exploitation of their voice or image, and that parents or guardians are not always fully aware of these terms.
