Voice actors around the globe are mobilizing against the unregulated use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate and clone human voices that they fear poses a threat to their livelihoods.
“We’re fighting a very big monster,” said Mario Filio, a Mexican artist who has done voice overs for Hollywood star Will Smith, the Obi-Wan Kenobi character in Star Wars and the party-loving lemur King Julien in the animated movie “Madagascar.”
“The undiscriminating and unregulated use of artificial intelligence is a risk that could lead to the extinction of an artistic heritage of creativity and wonder, an asset that machines cannot generate,” according to the group, which says its members include the US National Association of Voice Actors and Latin America’s Organization of United Voices.“And if we don’t have control over how those voices are used, we can’t make a living,” she added.
One, revoicer.com, says that it does not intend to replace human voiceovers, but to offer a quicker and cheaper alternative. While that could generate employment and benefits for the public, voice artists “need to charge what’s fair,” he added.
