"If motion-capture actors, video-game actors in general, only make whatever money they make that day ... that can be a really slippery slope," said Dalal, who portrayed Bode Akuna in "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor." "Instead of being like, 'Hey, we're going to bring you back' ... they're just not going to bring me back at all and not tell me at all that they're doing this. That's why transparency and compensation are so important to us in AI protections."
The physical strain this type of motion work entails, and the hours put into it, are part of the reason why he believes all video-game performers should be protected equally from the use of unregulated artificial intelligence.
Members of the union have said they are not anti-AI. The performers are worried, however, the technology could provide studios with a means to displace them.
