Members of SAG-AFTRA are striking for protections against AI in video games, demanding consent for the use of their digital replicas, particularly their body movements.
Jasiri Booker argues that their work in creating video game characters encompasses more than just motion data. They seek acknowledgment of their contributions and consent over AI-generated performances.
The video game companies propose to compensate performers for using their voices and likenesses, but the strike highlights concerns regarding the non-representation of body movements in their plans.
The union representatives stress that while they do not oppose AI use outright, they want curated, informed consent for the use of their performances in gaming.
