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

Some video game actors are allowing AI to clone their voices for characters in games, with concerns about potential replacement and ethical use. While some actors are open to the opportunity if fairly compensated, others worry about exploitation and misuse. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is negotiating terms with major studios to ensure ethical use of AI-generated voices, with an agreement already made with Replica Studios. The use of AI voices in video games is seen as a way to scale up game franchises and reduce physically straining work, but concerns about ethics and consent remain.
