The SAG-AFTRA Union says talks about the strike of the video game Voice and Motion Capture Actors have been called “which was called in July 2024, but warned that the recent proposal made by the bargaining group” has been a worrying flawless flaws. ” “
The strike, which began on July 26, 2024, has been demanded “(actors) ‘(actress)’ right to use the AI ​​of the faces, voices and bodies for proper compensation and informed consent.” The game makers who talk with the union said they have “offered meaningful AI reservations that require consent and fair compensation,” but the union feels otherwise, and claims that the game companies involved in the conversation are “clearly confirmed in a clear and viable language.
This is clearly going on. Sag -ftra said in a new Description That the bargaining group representing the game companies “You will be convinced that we are nearing reaching an agreement”, but he insisted that this is not the case. She also shared a Chart of tips To show that “how far we live on basic AI reservations for all actors.”
“They want to use all past performances and any performance they can be out of the deal without any protection bargaining outside the contract.”
“You can’t tell anything about the use of your duplication, not offered anything in the way of payment, and you can’t do anything about it. They want to continue your copy, as you like it during the next strike, whether you like it or not.
The rise of AI is a great concern for voice and MoCAP actors in the game business, and rightly. If the game developer can reduce your budget by using the machine -made sounds instead of real people, this is a safe condition that they will. Is Generative AI matches a real human performance? It is a matter of debate, but there is no question that technology is improving, and sooner or later this difference can be different – or if it can be distinguished, a significant part of the gaming audience cannot be careful.
We are not enough yet enough, because Sony’s recently reacts to a hard -leaked work Ai Pouring Eli Makes clear But this experience also makes it clear that the game makers are following such work, and while the very unnatural sound of this chatboat can be easily linked to the place holder, but it is a work towards a purpose, and those systems will improve.
The Sig-AFTRA has warned that game companies are hoping that union members will “change each other” as a result of the strike, but the game makers are facing the growing pressure themselves: The League of Legends Studio Riot Games were recently forced to strike some English language, and some of the most English-speaking language were forced to strike some English language. Due to the reason.
In February, more than 30 members of the French cast of Apex Consignments are not members of SAT SAG-AFTRA, but you know France and its unionsRefused to sign a new deal with a report, because it requires them to use their work to train the Generative AI system.
The Union wrote, “Employers are feeling squeezed by the strike, dragging their first signed projects through the production pipeline, as the SAG-AFTR members working in the video games stand together and refuse to work without proper protection.” “Because of this, employers are looking for other actors whom they can exploit to fill the characters, including those who do not usually perform in sports.
“If you have been contacted for such a role, we urge you to seriously consider the results. Not only will you be hurting the efforts of your fellow members, but you will endanger yourself without any protection against AI misconduct.
