SAG-AFTRA says 80 video games have agreed to abide by its proposed AI terms amid the ongoing video game actors' strike.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists announced Thursday that 80 video games have agreed to the union's proposed AI terms as the video game performers' strike rages on. Under the condition that they abide by the union's artificial intelligence rules, those games are now temporarily exempt from the walkout, and actors have been cleared to work on those titles during the strike.
SAG-AFTRA is seeking a deal that would require video game producers to notify and obtain consent from performers before using AI to replicate their voices, movements or likenesses. The union is also demanding that employers inform actors up front about how their digital replicas will be used and compensate them accordingly.
