Ashly Burch, known for voicing Aloy in Horizon, discussed artificial intelligence's potential in gaming, praising its ability to assist developers. However, she expressed concerns about maintaining protections for voice actors, fearing that advancements in AI could threaten smaller roles. Burch noted a balance must be struck, as AI can streamline processes but poses risks to performers' livelihoods. She underscored her trust in Guerrilla Games’ commitment to actors and their craft amidst these technological changes, indicating a cautious optimism towards future AI integration in the gaming industry.
I think that AI as a tool to make things easier on devs would be a great thing. Like, I think I've heard someone say before something like, 'Oh, if we used artificial intelligence to help with clean up between the mo-cap stage and importing it into the actual game engine, that could be amazing,' she said.
For a performer like herself, Burch said she would 'really have to know' how a developer would implement protections to ensure an AI-powered version of a character she played wouldn't say 'something awful.'
Burch went on to say that she fears smaller-profile voiceover roles are 'at risk of being replaced' due to AI advancements, and she thinks this is a problem for up-and-coming actors.
