The SAG-AFTRA talent union has resumed negotiations with video game companies around rules for using AI for voice acting in games.
The parties said SAG-AFTRA and the convenience bargaining group with whom the union negotiates its Interactive Media Agreement will resume negotiations on October 23.
The convenience bargaining group includes Activision Productions, Blindlight, Disney Character Voices, Electronic Arts Productions, Formosa Interactive, Insomniac Games, Llama Productions, Take 2 Productions, and WB Games.
SAG-AFTRA called for a strike on July 24 after negotiations stalled over how to balance voice actor rights and the use of AI tools in the production of games.
No further comment is available from either party at this time. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA said its members would picket WB Games in Burbank, California, tomorrow.
