Your face is on something you never shot. Here's the actual workflow.

You can strike a bad AI clause. You can't strike a deepfake.
Contract posts cover the likeness you sign away. This is the other half — the face-swap you never signed for — and whether you actually own your own face.

Contracts
The AI clause in your next contract is the one to read first
Studios no longer need you on set to make new content with your face. The AI clause is in performer contracts now — where it hides and what to push back on.
