The union representing video game actors has expressed significant concerns regarding the latest artificial intelligence proposals put forth by the studios. In a recent update to its members, the union described the two sides as "frustratingly far apart" in their negotiations. The union's leadership highlighted that the proposals contain "alarming loopholes" that could undermine the rights and protections of performers in the industry.
As the strike continues, the union is advocating for stronger safeguards against the misuse of AI technology in video game production. They argue that the current proposals do not adequately address issues related to consent and compensation for the use of actors' likenesses and voices. This situation has led to increased tension between the union and the studios, with both sides struggling to find common ground.
Union members remain resolute in their demands for fair treatment and are prepared to continue the strike until their concerns are addressed. The ongoing negotiations are closely watched by industry observers, as they could set significant precedents for the future of performance rights in the rapidly evolving landscape of video games.
