The recent suspension of the SAG-AFTRA video game voice actor strike marks a pivotal moment in the intersection of artificial intelligence and the entertainment industry. After nearly a year of negotiations and significant sacrifices from its members, the union has reached a tentative agreement with major gaming companies like Activision, Disney, and EA. This agreement is particularly noteworthy as it establishes essential guardrails for the use of AI in voice acting, ensuring that performers’ rights and livelihoods are protected in an increasingly digital landscape.
