Video game performers worry about studios using generative AI to replicate their voices and appearances without fair compensation. While there has been progress, Sag-Aftra (the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) demands explicit AI protections in contracts and rejects deals that could harm members. Studios argue they've made sufficient concessions, including consent and fair compensation under the Interactive Media Agreement, which covers voiceover and on-camera work for games. The prior agreement expired in November 2022 and has been extended monthly. Last year, US TV and film actors secured USD1 billion in new pay and AI safeguards after a 118-day strike that heavily impacted California's economy.
