Video game performers want their work protected from artificial intelligence

Video game performers are increasingly concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence on their careers, fearing that AI could replicate their performances without consent, leading to job losses. Noshir Dalal, a motion capture actor, highlights the physical demands of their work and the need for equal protections against unregulated AI use. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has initiated a strike to negotiate better terms regarding AI protections in the industry.

The ongoing negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and game industry companies have become contentious, with performers emphasizing the importance of transparency and fair compensation. While studios claim to offer meaningful AI protections, the union argues that the definition of a 'performer' is crucial to ensuring adequate rights. As the gaming industry evolves, the potential for AI to replace human actors raises ethical concerns and threatens the livelihood of many in the profession.
