Digital replica
A synthetic reproduction of a person's voice or likeness, generated by AI, able to produce new performance the person never actually recorded. The central subject of the SAG-AFTRA video game strike, whose agreement requires informed consent and disclosure for a replica's use and pays the performer for AI-generated material rather than treating one scan as an unlimited buyout.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 4 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
A synthetic reproduction of a person's voice or likeness, generated by AI, able to produce new performance the person never actually recorded. The central subject of the SAG-AFTRA video game strike, whose agreement requires informed consent and disclosure for a replica's use and pays the performer for AI-generated material rather than treating one scan as an unlimited buyout.
An AI-generated reproduction of a real person's voice or likeness, realistic enough to be identifiable as that specific person, the term used in laws like California's AB 2602 to describe the kind of artifact this topic's protocol governs the creation and disposal of.
An AI-generated or AI-manipulated depiction of a real person's voice, image, or likeness, closely resembling the person without their authorization; the subject of the Copyright Office's Part 1 report and the NO FAKES Act.

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where Digital replica starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: NYC Local Law 144; EEOC guidance; EU AI Act Annex III employment; Elder Justice Act.
One interview question about it
An AI tool screens job applicants. What must be true before you allow it, and what do you check every quarter?
Asked of candidates for ai in hiring and employment decisions. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Human resources and people operations carries it as a claim to back up: Fair-hiring review and disparate-impact awareness are HR discipline.
- Elder services, social work, banking front line and fraud teams carries it as a claim to back up: Safeguarding vulnerable people is the profession.
