"Video Game Actors Embrace AI Voice Cloning, But Fear Replacement"

As video game studios experiment with AI tools to generate synthetic voices for characters, some professional actors are concerned about being replaced, while others are open to the idea if fairly compensated and their voices aren't misused. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is in ongoing negotiations with game studios regarding the use of AI voices, with concerns about ethical use and consent. Some actors have made deals with AI voice companies, allowing major studios to work with unionized actors to create and license digital replicas of their voices while also providing the option to opt out.
