SAG-AFTRA Considers Strike Over AI Use in Video Game Production

Negotiations with major game companies have stalled over AI protections, with a potential strike looming in the next month.

SAG-AFTRA, led by Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, is considering a strike against major video game companies over AI use in the next 4-6 weeks.
Negotiations have been ongoing for over a year, focusing on AI issues, including protections for all types of performers.
A strike authorization was overwhelmingly approved by members in September, indicating strong support for action.
The potential strike would affect thousands of SAG-AFTRA members engaged in various production roles.
Crabtree-Ireland emphasizes the importance of consent and compensation for AI's use of performers' work.
