SAG-AFTRA's New AI Voice Agreement for Video Games

SAG-AFTRA has signed a deal with Replica Studios, an AI voiceover studio, establishing terms for the use of artificial intelligence in video games. The agreement includes informed consent for AI-generated digital voice replicas and requirements for safe storage of digital assets. The union aims to leverage emerging technology to benefit performers and is currently negotiating a similar deal with major video game studios. The agreement with Replica Studios could potentially influence these discussions and create new employment opportunities for voiceover performers in the video game industry.
