SAG-AFTRA has called a strike against the video game League of Legends. Under this action, any union voice actors must cease working on the popular MOBA from Riot Games. The union said it has also filed a charge of unfair labor practice against Formosa Interactive, which provides voiceover services for League, with the National Labor Relations Board. Formosa Interactive was one of several high-profile video game companies named in a strike by voice acting talent earlier this year. SAG-AFTRA is working to negotiate with those developers for protections against AI replicas of its members, including those who perform in games.

Marva Bailer, a tech executive, author, and speaker, shares why utilizing AI may be more expensive than physical actors. "Super Mario Bros." star Jack Black is feeling positive about the future with artificial intelligence, even with lingering concerns over the technology in the industry. "It's so new that it's hard to really say what the future holds, but I don't have all doom and gloom," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I don't feel like, 'Oh no, it's going to be like Terminator where it comes and destroys all the human jobs.' I'm not convinced about that because I can admit, I don't know, and I'm hoping that it's going to be a great new world and that it's going to be a tool that all of us can use to make ourselves better and make the world better."
