The United States Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Replica Studios, a company focused on AI-based voice technologies, have announced a partnership at the CES 2024 expo.

This collaboration will enable game studios and other companies to utilize the licensed voices of actors, given their consent. This means actors can now earn while AI handles aspects of voice acting.

"Approved by affected members of the union’s voiceover performer community, this contract marks an important step towards the ethical use of AI voices in creative projects by game developers, and sets the basis for fair and equitable employment of voice actors as they explore the new revenue opportunities provided by AI," the website of the SAG-AFTRA indicates.
