SAG-AFTRA Actors Strike at Warner Bros. Studios
News summary

SAG-AFTRA video game actors have begun striking at Warner Bros. Studios over the industry's use of artificial intelligence (AI) without adequate protections. The strike follows more than 18 months of stalled negotiations with major gaming companies like Activision and Disney, as actors demand AI regulations, wage increases, and better working conditions. Union members are particularly concerned about AI replicating their voices and likenesses without consent and fair compensation. Despite companies offering some AI protections and wage increases, the union finds these measures insufficient. SAG-AFTRA leaders, including President Fran Drescher, emphasize that they will not settle for a contract that allows for the exploitation of AI at the expense of their members. The strike underscores a broader industry-wide concern about AI's impact on labor rights and creative industries.
