How SAG-AFTRA union views AI and gaming negotiations | Sarah Elmaleh interview

Voice actor Sarah Elmaleh spoke at the Game Developers Conference last week, but she also had a side duty, as she is chair of a union committee for SAG-AFTRA, which is in negotiations with the game industry over the impact of AI on performers who give life to video game characters.

Elmaleh is a voice actor who has appeared in triple-A games including Helldivers 2, Hi-Fi Rush, Halo Infinite, Gears 5 and indies like Afterparty, Pyre and Gone Home. So she knows the contract being negotiated will directly affect her livelihood.
