Video Game Voice Actors Demand Fair Treatment Amid AI Technology Use

Blog

Attention all gamers and tech enthusiasts! 🎮🤖

In recent news, the video game industry is facing a major disruption as actors from the Screen Actors Guild have initiated a strike over the use of AI in video games. Negotiations for a new contract governing interactive media and video games have hit a roadblock, leading to over 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members halting work on new projects and causing delays in ongoing game development.

The crux of the issue lies in disagreements over worker protections related to artificial intelligence (AI). The actors union, SAG-AFTRA, had been in talks with major game publishers such as Activision, Take-Two, and Insomniac Games to establish fair terms in the interactive media agreement (IMA). However, the impasse has led to this unprecedented strike that is impacting the entire gaming landscape.

This strike serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and safeguarding the rights of performers in the digital realm. As technology continues to advance, it is crucial for industry stakeholders to prioritize the well-being of those behind the scenes who bring our favorite characters to life.
