Voice actors globally are facing threats from artificial intelligence advancements, which was a significant issue during the 2023 Hollywood actors' strike. Many voice actors, who dub films into various languages, have formed coalitions to protect their work under campaigns like '#TouchePasMaVF' in France and 'Don't steal our voices' in Germany. They argue that dubbing is not merely translation but a cultural adaptation. Studies suggest up to 12,500 jobs in France could be at risk due to AI technologies that utilize voices without consent, raising concerns about cultural preservation and employment in the industry.
In Germany, voice actors have expressed concerns about AI replacing their roles, emphasizing that dubbing isn't simply language translation but an adaptation rich in cultural nuances.
The rise of AI in dubbing poses a threat to over 12,500 jobs in France, including writers, translators, and voice actors, highlighting the industry's vulnerability.
