SAG-AFTRA's eight-month strike against video game publishers is primarily centered on demands for better pay and stronger regulations around AI. Union representatives claim that publishers' proposals for AI lack adequate protections, notably allowing AI to replicate actors' performances without consent. SAG-AFTRA has made interim agreements with producers of 160 games, which they report are more profitable than companies still resisting strike resolutions. Actors express concerns that AI poses an existential threat to their careers, with examples of unauthorized AI usage surfacing, further complicating negotiations.
The last proposal the bargaining group made is still filled with alarming loopholes that will leave our members vulnerable to AI abuse.
This is the problem with AI, that people are very carelessly using it to not only create characters that they shouldn't be using, but also people.
