Can AI truly replicate the screams of a man on fire? Video game performers want their work protected

Video game performers are raising concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on their jobs, fearing that AI could replicate their performances without consent, leading to job losses. Noshir Dalal, a motion capture actor, shared his personal experience of the physical toll of his work, emphasizing the need for protections against unregulated AI use. This concern prompted the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists to strike after lengthy negotiations with game industry giants failed to address these issues.

The performers argue that AI could not only displace them but also create ethical dilemmas if their likenesses or voices are used in ways they do not support. The ongoing negotiations have seen game companies propose wage increases and some AI protections, but the union insists that the definition of a performer is crucial for ensuring adequate protections. As the industry evolves, the potential for AI-generated content raises questions about the future of voice acting and motion capture roles, with actors like Ben Prendergast highlighting the loss of control over their performances.
