The recent controversy surrounding AI in the gaming world underscores critical labor and ethical concerns as SAG-AFTRA has filed a complaint against Fortnite for using AI to recreate Darth Vader's voice. This complaint highlights the union's stance against replacing human performers with AI without appropriate notice or negotiation. Although James Earl Jones's estate approved the AI voice use, SAG-AFTRA argues that such decisions must involve bargaining rights, especially as actors are on strike. The issue raises broader questions about the implications of AI technology in the entertainment industry.
The actors union accuses Epic Games' Llama Productions of choosing to 'replace the work of human performers with AI technology' without appropriate notice or bargaining.
SAG-AFTRA celebrates the right to control digital replicas but insists on protecting bargaining terms for voice that displaces human performers.
