AI is changing video games and striking performers want their due
Briefly

Jasiri Booker, a performer animating Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, joined SAG-AFTRA protests against video game companies over AI use, expressing concerns about being replaced by digital replicas.
During negotiations, performers focused on ensuring consent and fair compensation for the use of AI-generated likenesses, as many feel treated merely as data by the industry.
Booker emphasized the need for informed consent regarding AI, stating, 'I'm not completely against AI, but at the very least, please inform us and allow us to consent to the performances that you are generating with our AI doubles.'
Despite assurances from companies that protections would be in place under their AI proposal, performers like Booker remain skeptical and demand rights not just for a select few.
