Voice actors and motion-capture artists in SAG-AFTRA have been striking against major video game companies since July to secure protections against the use of “digital replicas” created by artificial intelligence. The union is demanding greater transparency, consent requirements, and fair compensation for A.I. use. We’ll talk to video game performers on how the strike is impacting them and what it means for the industry.

Guests:

Mandalit del Barco, correspondent, NPR

Alberto Menache, motion capture specialist, co-founder of NPCx

Sarah Elmaleh , voice artist, director, chair of SAG-AFTRA Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee

Andi Norris, actor, stunt and movement performer, member of SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee
