Several video game performers have been left "disappointed" with US union SAG-AFTRA's new agreement with an AI voice technology company.
On January 19, during CES 2024, SAG-AFTRA and Replica Studios announced their new agreement, which "paves the way for professional voiceover artists to safely explore new employment opportunities for their digital voice replicas." The agreement features "industry-leading protections" that are "tailored to AI technology" and will allow AAA video game studios and other companies to access SAG-AFTRA talent via Replica.
