SAG-AFTRA deal will let advertisers replicate actors' voices with AI


SAG-AFTRA has announced a new agreement that would allow actors to earn from AI copies of their voice with their informed consent.

However, it failed to reach a deal with several major video game publishers, prompting the union to call for another strike in July so it could protect it members' likenesses and voices from being recreated with AI without their permission. The Sleep Room in The Outlast Trials is named after a real-life space at McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, where from 1957 to 1964, doctors conducted mind-control experiments on patients as part of the CIA’s MK-Ultra initiative. Apple has reportedly assigned hundreds of employees wo work on a tabletop device that combines a rotating, iPad-like display with a robotic arm.
